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
