Ok so the DNA has the genes but how they will be read and what type of proteins will be produced leading to the physical features are determined by kammic energy (or gati). Human DNA is utterly identical to that of higher animals but a human zygote always leads to a human body and not chimpanzee (for example). There are variations of the physical features amongst humans too. This would mean that the blueprint of the physical body is in the gandhabba.

I remember reading the research done by Prof. Ian Stevenson (which is now led by Prof. Jim Tucker) at University of Virginia where some of the rebirth cases involved physical resemblances of injuries in the previous lives. They suggested that these causes are in the mind which got affected by the trauma brought by the injuries that got transferred over to next lives.
