Genes are transcribed to make Proteins
Nocleotides?
The genes found in DNA transfer characteristics from one generation to the next.
I'm going to answer the question 'Are chromosomes responsible FOR inheritING the characterISTICS of an organism?' Hope that's what you meant. Chromosomes aren't responsible as such, chromosomes are bundled up strands of DNA, and the DNA is what's responsible for.... well, it's not really the characteristics, DNA, genes, describe the limits of an organisms characteristics, its GENOTYPE. The genotype plus the organism's environment are responsible for its characteristics, that is its PHENOTYPE.
Characteristics which are influenced by both genes and environment are things such as: Athletic ability Academic ability Weight Height
Inherited ones
Genes are part of DNA which are responsible for specific characteristics.

The hormone testosterone is responsible for male secondary characteristics. Male primary characteristics were triggered before birth by several genes on the Y chromosome.
Just about ALL human (and living organism) characteristics are affected by genes.
Characteristics (traits) such as height, foot size, and hand span are controlled by the genes you have.
Whether the allele is dominant or recessive.
Genes decide what all of our physical characteristics are
Genes
Genes are the blueprints for making proteins.
