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.

Genes are passed down through generations, allowing for the transmission of hereditary traits.
