In a lively biology class, Avery, Benjamin, and Ava were having a spirited discussion about the human body. Avery proposed that a gene is a type of cell in the body. Benjamin, however, disagreed and argued that a gene is a portion of DNA that provides instructions for making a specific protein. Ava, who was keenly following their conversation, suggested that it's a type of protein found in the nucleus. Another student chimed in, suggesting it's a segment of RNA that carries genetic information. Who among them is correct?

Avery: A gene is a type of cell in the body

Benjamin: A gene is a portion of DNA that provides instructions for making a specific protein

Ava: A gene is a type of protein found in the nucleus

Student: A gene is a segment of RNA that carries genetic information

During a lively science debate, Ethan, Daniel, and Abigail were discussing genetic diseases. Ethan proposed that these diseases are caused by changes in the protein structure. Daniel, on the other hand, argued they are caused by changes in the DNA code. Meanwhile, Abigail suggested it's due to changes in the cell division process. Who among them got it right?

Daniel, because genetic diseases are caused by changes in the DNA code

Ethan, because genetic diseases are caused by changes in the protein structure

Abigail, because genetic diseases are caused by changes in the cell division process

None of them are correct
