Answer:

Genes are basically what makes us look the way we do or something like that. They are made up of DNA. Your genes sort of tells your cells to make molecules called proteins, which help your body function. Your genes also carry information that determines your traits which goes back to what I said about them making up the way you look. Your genes are basically like a cookbook recipe for DNA. Genes tell your cells what to do and when to do it. They are sometimes called "blueprint for life."

Explanation: That's all I got.....Hope this helps!!!
