Answer:
The Relationship Between Genes, Proteins, and Traits
A gene codes for a particular protein that is involved in the expression of a trait. Characteristics determined by single genes are called Mendelian traits.
A gene is a stretch of DNA on a chromosome that has the instructions for making a protein. Each chromosome has many genes with humans having over 22,000 genes in all. A gene's instructions for a protein are written in the three letter code I referred to before. A protein is a molecular machine that does a specific job.
Explanation:
NOT MY WORDS! I HOPE THIS HELPS!
The traits of a living thing depend on the complex mixture of interacting components inside it. Proteins do much of the chemical work inside cells, so they largely determine what those traits are. But those proteins owe their existence to the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid),
