There are several ways of finding genes, including:
- labeling and detecting DNA binding proteins that you think may bind to your gene of interest (DNA combing)
- taking the cDNA of a protein coding gene and tracing it back into the genome
- making a labeled complimentary probe of the gene, denaturing the genome, and hoping that your probe finds its complimentary match
- sequencing and trying to locate regions that look like a predicted sequence
- transforming a population of cells with a vector (that contains a selectable marker) of the organism of interest's genome, and selecting for that gene using that marker or different properties of the gene (especially if the species of cells you've chosen can transcribe/translate inserted genes)
There are probably numerous more general methods, but that's just a few :)

Where can you find your genes?
In your cupboard/wardrobe
On what structure would you find Genes?
The chromosome
Where is a genes location along a chromosome?
Yes. That is how geneticists map genomes to find which genes you have
How do you find genes unique to candida albicans using bioinformatics?
By exploring in biological databases such as NCBI you can find the specific genes of any organism. By aligning the genes of Candida with related species of bacteria or fungus one can fish out the unique genes of Candida that are not common in other organism. There are tools for these sequence alignments (eg:BLAST, FASTA)
How many genes did scientist find in DNA?

In what part of a bacterial cell would you find the genes?
cytoplasm
Are chromosomes carry genes and are found in the nucleus?
chromosomes carry genes but i think they are found in DNA and they find DNA in the nucleas thats what i think it is
What did Mende find out about genes?
After performing his experiments on hybridization in garden pea Mendel concluded that (1) genes segregate in the next generation from parents to the offsprings and (2) the assortmant of genes is independent during gamete formation.
What is the species and genes of a mongoose?

How did oswald Avery find out that genes and chromosomes are made from DNA?

What scientific laws can tell you about nature?
one of the laws that can help you find a law that can tell you about nature is the laws of heredity. These laws explain how genes are inherited, but do not explain how genes work.
Are polygenic genes dominant genes?
Polygenic genes are usually dominant genes.
