Detailed explanation-1: -Traits are inherited characteristics from our parents that are expressed externally in our phenotype. For any given trait, one gene variation (allele) is received from the father and one from the mother. The expression of these alleles determines the phenotype, whether dominant or recessive.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cell builds proteins using instructions found in genes. Specifically, the order of nucleotides in a gene determines the order of amino acids in one or more proteins. An organism has many different genes, and so can produce many different proteins. These proteins have functions that affect the organism’s traits.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genes contain information about traits. Genes carry out functions in the cell that include providing structure and controlling chemical reactions. Proteins are molecules in the cell that encode genes.
Detailed explanation-4: -The sequence of basis on the DNA molecule is what directs the sequence of amino acids in the protein molecule-that’s how it all links together! So, the sequence of bases in DNA codes for the sequence of amino acids of a protein.
