Solution

The correct option is D DNA is made up of genes.
In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA. The RNA can be directly functional or be the intermediate template for a protein that performs a function. However, the inverse is incorrect.
So the correct option is option D.
