Read each of the statements below. If you agree with the statement, write “agree.” If you disagree with the statement, write “disagree.” Then, explain your choice for the first statement. Traits, such as your hair or eye color, are determined by the proteins made by cells in your body.

I agree

Explanation:

Proteins in your body play a large role in the cells your body contains, which therefore causes changes in your bodily traits like eye or hair color. But, these proteins owe a huge lot of their work to DNA, which is transferred through parents to their children in a process called heredity. Through heredity, DNA is passed along and stored inside cells that make up a person's body. Therefore, yes, traits are determined by the proteins inside cells, but couldn't exist without DNA.
