How do you get from DNA the information molecule to the phenotype Ie- how is the genetic information expressed?

Genes on DNA make proteins by transcription and translation.
Different alleles mean different proteins which consequently stand for different phenotypes.
It is explicit in the case of one's blood type since proteins like antigen A or antigen B directly lead to different phenotypes.
In some cases of shapes, DNA information expression may be implicit. For example. a deficient enzyme coded by recessive alleles fails to turn sugars into starch for storage in a seed. Therefore, the seed swells with plenty of water flowing in(osmosis). When it gets dried, it turns wrinkled. On the other hand, the dominant alleles express a round shape due to the normal enzyme that remains the content full of starch rather than water.

What molecule carries genetic information?
Chromosomes do that part.
Where is the genetic information chromosome of a bacterium found?
The bacterial cell has a circular DNA molecule in the cytoplasm. That is where all the genetic information is located.
What is the genetic makeup of an animal?
Phenotype
Transcription is the process by which genetic information encoded in DNA is transferred to an?
RNA molecule.
What is the term meaning how genetic traits are expressed?
The phenotype is the expression of genetic traits.
Why do chromosomes determine an individuals phenotype?
Chromosomes are made of DNA and protein. DNA is the genetic material that determines the genotype and phenotype of a person. The phenotype is the genes that are expressed and observable. See the related link for further information.

What molecule requires genetic information?
dna
What molecule is used to store genetic information?
DNA stores genetic information but other molecule which also serve as genetic material is RNA which is found generally in plant viruses. So both DNA & RNA are genetic material. DNA stores genetic information but other molecule which also serve as genetic material is RNA which is found generally in plant viruses.
What are an individuals expressed traits called?
genotype
What is the entire genetic make up of an organism called?
it relates to the phenotype A phenotype is how the organism looks based on which genes are expressed. A genotype is how the organism is genetically structured, including recessive genes that are not apparent when looking at the organism. Some diseases, like colorblindness, are recessive and are only expressed when there is not a dominant gene to override it. The entire genetic makeup of an animal is its genome.
What is a complex molecule in the cell's chromosomes that carries genetic information?
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions.
What is the phenotype of an organism-?
The phenotype of an organism is its physical appearance as determined by its genetic makeup.
Which genetic factors determine the color of a hummingbird?
Phenotype is the genetic factor that determines the color of a hummingbird. An organism's physical characteristics areincluded in phenotype.
Molecule that carries the genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasma?
RNA
Which organelle holds genetic information in the molecule DNA?
Vacuole
