Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) Enzymes and genes function cooperatively in the cell

B) genes code for enzyme production

C) Enzymes manufacture genes

D) Enzymes and genes are chemically similar

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Genes are structural and functional heritable unit of DNA that carries instructions needed for the synthesis of a protein. In other words, a gene is a segment of DNA that encodes a useful product such as protein.

Enzymes are proteinous chemical substances i.e. they are proteins that serve as biological catalyst in living systems. Since enzymes are proteins, it means that they are encoded by genes. Hence, according to this question, the most accurate relationship between them is that GENES CODE FOR ENZYME PRODUCTION.
