DNA codes for RNA, which codes for the synthesis (making) of proteins from amino acids. Almost all of our characteristics are in some way related to proteins. For example, one peson's face is distinguishable from another person's face because of their respective proteins. Thus, DNA codes for the proteins that control at least some of our traits.

So, a trait is controlled at a gene locus. If the gene at this locus can produce more than one result, these variants are called alleles.

The term gene and allele are often used interchangably.

For example. If there are two alleles for hair coat color A and a, where A produces

a red hair coat and a produces a black hair coat a heterozygous individual would have one copy of each allele per chromosome.

Homozygous Dominant would be AA and the individual would be red

Heterozygous individuals would be Aa and red

Homozygous recessive indivduals would be aa and have black hair coats.

They are related since genes make a protein to create traits so genes are like there creator.

our genes produce particular traits so that means our genes are what make us look like we do thats how they are related
