MCQ
A segment of $DNA$ molecule which codes or specifies for one polypeptide chain is called
  • A
    Phosphate group
  • B
    Adenine
  • Gene
  • D
    Amino acid

Gene
c
The segment of $DNA$ molecules which codes or specifies for one polypeptide chain is called as gene. A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes, which are made up of $DNA$, acts as instructions to make proteins. They hold the information to build and maintain an organism's cells and pass genetic characters to offspring.
