As a thought experiment, imagine that instead of how DNA actuslly works, you’re passing on a gene for making soup.
Your DNA might be something like :
Knife
Cut vegetables into small chunks
Put vegetables in pot
Add water
Add meat
Cook
Done
It doesn’t just contain instructions it contains the literal mechanisms by which to make the soup. It’s less an instruction manual and more part of an assembly line. Since you get your DNA from your parents, your soup will be very similar to your parents most likely, since you have the same list of steps as them.
