Answer:

The DNA in genes is transcribed into RNA and translated into proteins

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of DNA in a gene is transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). This sequence of this mRNA is translated into a sequence of amino acids that form a protein.

The sequence of DNA in a gene directly affects the amino acids, and therefore the structure and function of, a protein.
