Both heredity and protein synthesis

(C) Genes control protein synthesis by directing the synthesis of specific proteins (polypeptides) through the processes of transcription and translation. Additionally,genes control heredity by acting as the units of inheritance,ensuring the transmission of hereditary traits from one generation to the next via $DNA$ replication and gamete formation. Therefore,genes are responsible for both functions.
