Here's a breakdown:
* Genes: A segment of DNA that contains the instructions for building a specific protein.
* Protein: A large molecule made up of amino acids, which performs a wide variety of functions in the body, such as building and repairing tissues, transporting molecules, and acting as enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions.
It's important to note: Not all DNA codes for protein. Some DNA sequences have other functions, such as regulating gene expression or providing structural support to chromosomes.
