Each gene has a special job to do. The DNA in a gene spells out specific instructionsâmuch like in a cookbook recipe â for making proteins (say: PRO-teens) in the cell. Proteins are the building blocks for everything in your body. Bones and teeth, hair and earlobes, muscles and blood, are all made up of proteins.
