While genes have potential to modify behavior, behavior can also modify genes. How do genes impact this process? A. Genes impact neuron functioning directly. B. Changes made to proteins lead to changes in behavior. C. Neurons are able to impact protein synthesis. D. Genes impact the DNA of a cell, leading to changes in behavior

The correct answer is: B. Changes made to proteins lead to changes in behavior.

Genes do not impact neuron functioning directly, but rather encode proteins that build and control the functioning of the brain through which behavior is expressed. Behavior is influenced by both, inheritance and environment. So, for example, social information (environmental influence) can impact brain gene expression via epigenetic modifications.
