DNA codes for all of the proteins in the cell. Proteins are used as many things within the cell, including signalling molecules which communicate between different parts of the cell, and enzymes, which can adjust the length of structural molecules which keep the cells shape.

The shape of the cell is also determined by physical constraints such as outside pressure, the surface area/volume ration, and how fast molecules can diffuse into the centre of the cell.
