An organism is made out of DNA.

I have to disagree. We are not made of DNA. We are made from the proteins etc DNA codes for

An organism is made of what DNA codes for to simplify the idea. DNA codes for eye and skin color and so much more. Different cells turn different parts of the DNA on or off.

DNA controls a person's characteristics because it is what passes on the genes and traits of the parents. The genes and traits express the person's characteristics.

Genes control our characteristics we develop because each gene is a code for making a certain protein, having different versions means we end up with different characteristics.

The genetic code contains genes, which code for proteins, which are used for pretty much everything else.

Certain sections of DNA, genes, code for proteins that dictate the phenotype of the organism (how it looks). A change in DNA will alter the protein resulting in variations in appearance.
