Genetic information primarily dictates or controls **what characteristics an organism will have**. This includes traits such as physical appearance, physiological functions, and even certain behaviors. The genetic makeup of an organism consists of DNA sequences that encode for proteins and other molecules, influencing how an organism develops and functions.
While genetic information can indirectly influence where an organism will live and die, which predators will eat the organism, and aspects of parentage, those factors are more influenced by environmental conditions, ecological interactions, and genetic inheritance respectively.
