Question

Every trait you see on an organism is a result of that organism's dna instructing the organism's cells. how does the information stored in dna's nucleotides translate into traits such as eye color and ear shape?

a. traits are determined by the presence or absence of lac operons along a series of nucleotides.
b. traits are determined by codons that are stored in groups of nucleotides.
c. traits are determined by a group of enzymes known as dna helicases.
d. traits are determined by proteins that are built according to the instructions stored in genes.

Answer 1

The information stored in the DNA's nucleotides translate into trait since these traits are determined by proteins that are built according to the instructions stored in genes. All this is due to a process of gene expression where information or instructions flows from genes to a protein which determines the traits. First during the gene expression process the DNA undergoes transcription to yield RNA which then undergoes translation to yield proteins.
