Best Answer

The genes affect the whole organism because your genes are in your DNA and in every cell there is 23 pairs of chromosomes so you are what you are from your genes and DNA.

Genes code for the proteins in your cells. Your proteins do nearly everything in your cells. Therefore the genes you have determine how you function at a cellular level. In terms of chromosomes, they are your DNA wrapped very tightly around protein clusters called histones.
