The order of bases along a gene determines the structure of a protein (Option b).

  • During gene transcription, a specific fragment of DNA called 'gene' is used as template to create a messenger RNA (mRNA).

  • Subsequently, the mRNA travels to the ribosome where this sequence is used as a template to create a protein by the mechanisms of translation.

  • The linear order of nucleotides in the gene sequence and ultimately the order of triplets of nucleotides (i.e., codons) in mRNA determine the linear order of amino acids in the protein.

In conclusion, the order of bases along a gene determines the structure of a protein (Option b).
