Changing a parts list can certainly affect the form or appearance of something. For example, if you change the parts list for a skyscraper to use soft taffy girders rather than steel girders, you will sure change the form, preventing a very tall height. But a parts list does not specify the architecture or structure or parts arrangement of something. A parts list for a skyscraper is not a blueprint for how to make the skyscraper, and a genome is not a blueprint for how to accomplish the incomparably harder job of constructing a human body.

The form of something is how its parts are arranged or organized. Similarly, you do not change your biological form when you get a suntan, nor would you change it if you coated yourself in some colored liquid.
