A ll organisms contain DNA. DNA holds the genetic instructions for all of an organism’s structures and functions. Which of the following accurately describes how these genetic instructions impact an organism’s structures and functions?

DNA is made up of small segment called genes. Each gene codes for a unique, special protein. The proteins are what determine traits and characteristics. Thus, depending on the DNA, an organisms might function differently, and their molecular structures may be different.
