Answer: Option C) A gene unwinds and becomes a template that organizes amino acids.

Step-by-step explanation:

A gene is a sequence of DNA nucleotides on a chromosome that codes for a polypeptide or RNA molecule and thus determine an individual inherited traits.

Therefore, the role of a gene production in organism traits is serving as template for directing different amino acid combinations, that generate different proteins, and in turn different traits.
