Protein-coding genes are expressed through translation and transcription.

Proteins do much of the chemical work inside cells, so they largely determine what those traits are.
Proteins are built through instructions in genes. There are many different genes that have different instructions, so this affects an organism’s traits because different proteins are made. The order of nucleotides in a gene determines the order of amino acids in one or more proteins. These proteins have functions that affect the organism's traits.

The role proteins have in this process is to express a trait. Proteins are made up of amino acids and are the functional products in a cell.

Information from a gene is used to build a functional product in a process called gene expression.

Genes make proteins. A gene is a specific stretch of nucleotides within a chromosome’s DNA.The DNA sequence of of gene specifies a particular protein through transcription and translation. Genes are functional units in DNA. Each gene provides instructions for a functional product, which is a molecule that performs a job in the cell(usually a protein). Genes provide instructions specify polypeptides (proteins and protein subunits) or functional RNAs (such as tRNAs and rRNAs).The DNA sequence of a gene specifies a particular protein through transcription and translation.

The the sequence of a DNA molecule affects a human or other organism's features through its genes.  DNA is the genetic material of all organisms on Earth. When DNA is transmitted from parents to children, it can determine some of the children's characteristics.
