Traits such as size, hair color, and skin patterns in animals are primarily determined by **DNA**. DNA contains the genetic information that guides the development of specific characteristics and traits through the processes of gene expression and regulation.
While RNA is involved in translating the genetic code from DNA into proteins (which play crucial roles in forming these traits), and lipids are important for various biological functions, it is the DNA that serves as the blueprint for an organism's traits. Therefore, among the options provided, **DNA** is the correct answer.
