The following questions are my homework questions:

Jean said to John:"The amino acid sequence of the proteins in your hair determines how curly or straight you hail will be."

John replied:"I don't think that's right. Your genes determine whether your hair is curly or straight. That's why it's inherited."

Who's right? Jean or John?

If they are both right, why? Explain your answers in details.

 

Thanks!

Both are correct. The sequence of the DNA in a gene corresponds to the order of the amino acids in the protein.
