yes, every cell in our body holds all of our genetic information.

The difference is in which genes are "switched on".

eg our throat lining has the information to make bile, but it doesnt.

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.


Do different cells have different genes?

If the cells are from one individual, all will have the same genes except their sex cells which have 1/2 the number. A dog will have different genes from a cat. The genes make the cat different from the dog and human.


What organism looks like as the result of its genes?

An organism looks like the result of its genes because genes contain the instructions for building and maintaining the organism's physical characteristics, such as its appearance, traits, and behaviors. These genetic instructions are expressed through the process of development, where genes control the growth and differentiation of cells to produce the observable traits of the organism. Each organism's unique combination of genes determines its specific features and overall appearance.


Is the DNA in each cell of a single organism exactly the same?

First of all DNA is not a cell. Second of all if DNA was all the same then we would also be the same in thought, apearance, and function. The only time DNA is the same is when it makes up a multicelled organism (or if a Organism is cloned or for a spieces of unicelluar organisms). This was explained by a seven year old,


Where are genes found inside of your cells?

Genes are found inside the nucleus of a cell. They are part of chromosomes, which are made of DNA molecules and associated proteins. Genes contain the instructions for making proteins that determine the characteristics of an organism.

Do all organism's have the same amount of genes?

yes, every organism has the same amount of genes in their bodies.. I think..!


Are all of organism's genes turned on at the same time?

No, not all of an organism's genes are turned on at the same time. Gene expression is tightly regulated in response to different environmental cues, developmental stages, and cellular needs. This regulation allows for specific genes to be turned on or off as needed for the organism's survival and functioning.


Dolly is not a transgenic animal because all of her genes are from the same kind of organism?

That's correct. Dolly the sheep was not a transgenic animal because she was cloned from a cell of another sheep, meaning all her genes were from the same species without any genetic modification from other organisms.


What are the traits produced by an organisms genes?

Traits produced by an organism's genes are characteristics or features that can be observed in the organism, such as eye color, height, or blood type. These traits are determined by the specific combination of genes inherited from the organism's parents.


Are genes are responsible for all the traits of an organism.?

no they are not.

Do a pancreas cell and a skin cell have the same set of chrosomes?

All non-mutated somatic (non-sex cell) cells have the same chromasomes and same genes, within an organism. The difference between the cells is which of the genes are active in it.


What characteristics are affected by genes?

Just about ALL human (and living organism) characteristics are affected by genes.


Do all cells within an individual carry the same assortment of DNA?

Every cell within an organism contains the same DNA. In higher organism, this DNA is selectively expressed. Genes are turned on and off depending on the cell.

Are all cell the same in a multicellular organism?

Almost all cells in a multicellular organism are genetically the same - i.e. they have identical DNA. However, through a process called "differentiation", cells diverge in size, shape, and function by having different sets of genes turned off or on.


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.
