Every three nitrogenous bases on DNA codes for s specific amino acid. The sequence of amino acids determines a proteins shape and function. Genetic traits are essentially the expression of proteins in the body.

∙ 12y agoDNA is the basis for our being basically. It hold our genetic code. DNA is what parent pass down to children. It determines which traits appear on and in the child. for example, the childs eye color is determined by the DNA of their parents, grandparents and great grandparents. This is because a gene can either be recessive or dominant. for example blue eyes are recessive and brown eyes are dominant. If your mother has brown eyes like everyone in her family and your father has blue eyes and everyone in his family has blue eyes (lets just say for the sake of this example), you will end up with brown eyes because brown eyes are DOMINANT, blue eyes are recessive.
DNA also determines information like if you have Allergies or not, if you are immune to certain kinds of diseases, or have certain syndromes.
thats a VERY VERY basic level of DNA. It gets more complicated but thats basically what it does overall

Genes carry information that determine what?
a.alleles b.ribosomes c.chromosomes d.traits
What located on chromosomes and carry hereditary instructions?
the chromosomes carry the genes
Can genes carry hereditary instructions?
Genes carry the instructions to make proteins, i think....
What molecule carries out our genes?
DNA molecules carry out our genes.
What critical things genes were known to do?
A: first,genes had to carry information from one generation to the next; B: second, they had to put that ingormation to workby determining the heritable characteristics of organisms C: third,genes had to easily copied,because all of a cells genetic information is replicated every time a cell divides
Genes carry information that determine what?
a.alleles b.ribosomes c.chromosomes d.traits
What codes for traits and carry information that determines everything the cell is and will be?
genes
What does DNA carry the instruction for building?
DNA has genes as a part of chromosomes which are the unit of inheritence. so genes carry all the relevent information or intruction for building.
Difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes carry genes. Genes are inherited material that is in chromosomes. Traits are determined by the genetic information found on chromosomes.
Why are genes called hereditary unit?
genes are the carriers of heredity as they carry the genetic information generation after generation without much changes in it.
What located on chromosomes and carry hereditary instructions?
the chromosomes carry the genes
What do genes do to help cells carry out their functions?
What do genes do to help carry out their functions
Can genes carry hereditary instructions?
Genes carry the instructions to make proteins, i think....
DNA has to be able to do three things?
-be able to carry information from one generation to the next -to put information to work by determining the heritable characteristics of organisms -to be easily copied, because all of a cells' genetic information is replicated every times a cell divides.
What is chomosomes?
Chromosomes are threadlike structures that carry the genetic information or DNA. Chromosomes are in the nucleus of a cell with the genes.
How genes carry inherited information from one generation to another?
its biologically incorrect to give a number of the genes...but through a rough estimate we can say thatthere are almost 20000-25000 protein coding genes
What is the name each gene in a pair of genes that might or might not carry the same information about a trait?
the name is hybrids
