Traits can have both environmental and genetic components.
For example, Anger might be hereditary, but could have both environmental and genetic components.
Obesity, or even height might also have both genetic and environmental components.

∙ 13y agoyup we are made up of chromosomes from both our parents, however environmental factors (sun, chemicals..etc) can cause mutations in genes which alter your genetic make up eg, you get cancer, tanning (cells in trauma) etc...

A typical gene contains the instructions for making?
It depends. Some genes determine a single trait all by themselves. Some genes work with other genes to make a trait. It takes several separate genes to determine how tall you will be. And then there are other genes that by themselves determine multiple traits. Each gene is the code for a peptide chain. Many of those become proteins.
How does DNA determine the traits of an organism?
DNA contains the genes that determine the traits of an organism. Not all the DNA is in gene form but in what some people call "junk DNA". It has been shown by some that even that is important in the individual.
