How do the nitrogenous bases (atgc) in DNA make traits such as eye color and hair texture?

The sequence of DNA bases (thymine, cytosine, adenine, and guanine) code for specific traits. The number of and which alleles you have (coded for my the DNA=genes) will determine traits such as eye color.

What are the 3 basic part of DNA?
There are actually 6: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Phosphates, and Deoxyribose Sugar Molecules. 1 Phosphate and Deoxyribose Sugar Molecule create a nucleotide, and Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine are nitrogenous bases. DNA is shaped like a double-helix (a ladder). The two sides of the ladder are the nucleotides and the rungs are nitrogenous bases. The order of nitrogenous bases determines the organisms life characteristics (eye color, skin color, hair color, etc.)
How are parents and offspring alike anddifrent?
Traits inherited or genes are how parents and children are alike and different. Traits can range from the ability to roll one's tongue to hair color/texture.
Do genes determine a persons eye color by coding for nitrogenous bases that affect eye color?
I'm not sure on the complete mechanism for the formation of eye colour however genes are made of the four nitrogenous bases A, T, G, C. So the simple answer is no they don't as the genes for eye colour don't encode for any bases at all instead they encode proteins which in turn will effect eye colour. Hope this helps :)
What traits are controled by a gene with multiple alleles?
Some of the human traits determined by multiple alleles would be hair color, hair texture, eye color, built, physical structures, etc. One notable and most common example of multiple alleles in humans would be of the blood groups.

Genes determine a person's eye color by coding for nitrogenous bases that affect eye color.true or false?
No idea but that is the question that i have in my packet and i need to figure it out ASAP.

If you see a healthy living yellow mouse can you tell if it is heterozygous or homozygous?
yes because of there specific traits that they have from the outside like their fur color, eye color and etc....
