Depends primarily on the organism therefore the question becomes vast in that nature alone

What does genotype describes about an organism?
The genetic make up of that organism.
What is the traits produced by an organism's genes?
A genotype is the entire genetic make up of an organism. The phenotype is the actual expressed traits or characteristics found within an organism. The distinction between genotype and phenotype can be made based on dominant and recessive genes.
What is the function of the DNA molecule?
They consist of the genes that code for the proteins that make up your body.
What is the name for the procces of passing down genes?
Heredity material is the genes which are made up of DNA. The passage of genes from parent to offspring results in the genetic make up of every cell in the human body. The genes determine the traits of an organism.
What is genes in biology?
Genes are the basic structure of a living organism. They define our eye colour, skin tone and other things which make up a person. It is the same for animals and plants.
What makes an organism look how it does?
An organism's physical features are caused by the genes it inherited from its parent(s). The organism's environment determines how the genes show up in the organism. So basically, it's a combination of hereditary and environmental factors.
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.
Genes on chromosomes control the?
Absolutely everything that the genes in your mitochondria or chloroplasts (if you're a plant) don't control. In eukaryotes like us ALL your genes are on chromosomes, with the exceptions I mentioned.
How does a gene differ from genome?
A gene is just the DNA that stores genetic information, a genome is all the genetic material in an organism.
What molecules make up genes?
ur genes come from ur parents' genes
Where do we find genes?
Genes are in the Deoxyribonucleuc Acid (DNA), which is in the chromosomes, which is in the nucleus of every cell, which makes up our tissues which makes up our organs which make up the organ system, which then (finally) we have the complete organism.
Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
