Short Answer: Not quite.
This is a very general question so I'll answer all the possible questions you are asking.
DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid because that's what it is made out of.
DNA is different in to every individual organism.
Your DNA, among other things, is what gives you your own personal identity, separate to every other individual.
But different species, say, humans have very similar DNA, more similar than comparing them to dogs, another mammal, or plants and fungi.
So all poison ivy has similar DNA but each individual plant, because there is variation, has slightly different DNA.

The kind of genes an organism possesses is dependent on what?
what kind of genes does an organism has depend on.
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 difference between a karyotype and a phenotype?
The phenotype is what you will see when genes are expressed in an organism. Karyotype is all the genes in an organisms DNA.
Where are genes found inside of your cells?
A gene is a unit of heredity in a living organism. It is normally a stretch of DNA that codes for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. All proteins and functional RNA chains are specified by genes. All living things depend on genes. Genes hold the information to build and maintain an organism's cells and pass genetic traits to offspring.
What controls traits in organisms?
The traits of an organism are controlled by genes and environment. Genes
What are the traits produced by an organisms genes?
All inherited traits are a product of the organism's genes.
What is in all of the genes in an organism?
DNA
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 genes are responsible for all the traits of an organism.?
no they are not.
How do genes hold the recipe for all proteins needed by an organism?
Because genes hold all of our DNA
Dolly is not a transgenic animal because all of her genes are from the same kind of organism?
Yes, dolly is not a transgenic animal because all her genes are from the same kind of organism.
What characteristics are affected by genes?
Just about ALL human (and living organism) characteristics are affected by genes.
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.
The kind of genes an organism possesses is dependent on what?
what kind of genes does an organism has depend on.
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 difference between a karyotype and a phenotype?
The phenotype is what you will see when genes are expressed in an organism. Karyotype is all the genes in an organisms DNA.
Are all genes in an organism being transcribed and translated in all cells?
No. This is why you have different types of cells.
