Which of the following statements is not true about genes? a. genes consist of hormones that regulate bodily functions. b. genes are dna segments that are carried in each chromosome. c. genes serve as the biochemical units of heredity. d. genes operate in pairs and influence one’s physical traits.

The right option is; A. Genes consist of hormones that regulate bodily functions.  

"Genes consist of hormones that regulate bodily functions" is the statement that is not true about genes.

Genes are the basic structural and functional unit of heredity. Genes are segments of DNA or RNA that are transmitted from one generation to the next, and that carries genetic information such as the sequence of amino acids for a protein. Genes operate in pairs and they determine one’s physical characteristics such as eye and hair colour. Genes do not contain hormones that regulate bodily functions.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
