About 98% of human DNA is termed non genomic! Much research is required to elicidate what the all the other information codes for! The question is not scientific as it appears to pesonalise the situation and is not specific enough meaning it is open to misinterpretation as a result! Not a good question.

∙ 9y agoGene can be defined as a segment of DNA that has promoter, control elements and coding region for a particular protein or RNA. By human genome project now it is well known that only 1% of total DNA is coding proteins and 25% build up as the control elements. The rest of the non-coding DNA's role is unclear yet.

Explain how the DNA in genes relates to the traits of an organism-?
DNA is a giant molecule, a string of nuclear bases that from genes. These genes are the code to make an organism. In fact every trait in an organism is a result of the genes' action and therefore the composition of the DNA.
Why is it important for DNA to condense before dividing?
DNA condensation is used to block the transcription and translation of a number of genes. It is part of "epigenetics" by condensation of the DNA the polymerase can no longer bind.
DNA sequences that code for proteins are called what?
genes
What part of DNA provides the code for proteins?
The parts of DNA that code for proteins are called genes.
What is the relationship between chromosomes and genes and between genes and DNA?
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
Genes are found on which part of a cell?
Genes can be found in chromosomes. The cell nucleus of almost every cell contains chromosomes and genes. They contain the DNA and the gene shows as a section of the DNA.

What are the composition of genes?
Genes are part of DNA. hence they are composed of dNucleotides .
What are genes composition of?
Genes are part of DNA. hence they are composed of dNucleotides .
What Is part of the DNA code on a chromosome?
Each chromosome has genes on it in the form of coded base nucleotide sequence which is part of DNA.
Are genes made of DNA?
Actually its the other way around. DNA is the structure that contains genes and passes them from generation to generation allowing traits to be inherited. I wish I could go into better detail but I'm more of a physics and chemistry kinda guy.
Explain how DNA genes and chromosomes are related?
DNA is the molecule that genes are made of. Chromosomes are the (arbitrary) clumping that genes form in cells.
Which cell part contains the genes for heredity?
Genes are really part of DNA, which is found in the nucleus of cells.
Where are genes found within the body?
In the DNA in every cell.
What is the difference between Cells and Genes?
The Cells hold the genes. Genes are a part of DNA, which is located in the Nucleus of a Cell.
What is a choromosome and how are they related to genes and DNA?
A chromosome is a whole lot of genes strung together. Each gene is made of DNA. To confuse matters further, as well as having lots of genes in every chromosome, there is also a lot of "extra" DNA. This DNA is called "non-coding" DNA and we don't really know what it does yet. In fact there is much more non-coding DNA in every chromosome than genes.
Why is it important for DNA to condense before dividing?
DNA condensation is used to block the transcription and translation of a number of genes. It is part of "epigenetics" by condensation of the DNA the polymerase can no longer bind.
