Is a homologous pair bigger than a gene?

yes and a genome is larger than both


Are bacterial cells larger then plant and animal cells?

No, bacteria have much smaller cells, generally, than plants and animals.


Why does Amoeba Dubai have a genome that is 200 times larger than the human genome?

Why each cell contains 200 times more genetic material than a human cell is not known, however, because the biomass of all the Amoeba dubia is probably thousands, if not tens of thousands of times larger than the entire human population of the Earth there is also the potential for much more genetic variation. The number of amoebas is very large. As such there can be duplication of the genome and mutation taking place simultaneously. When both things happen simultaneously, the defect is probably carried forward. This procedure can be repeated many times to give you such a large sized genome. In such cases the cell organelles and other genetically directed things will take course like the whorl. So making small changes in structures and functions of the cell organelles and other proteins.


What would be the typical eccentricities for a planet and a comet?

Yes. Planets are much larger than comets.


How much DNA is in a gene and how much is in a genome?

Both genes and genomes come in a variety of sizes. About 1,000 base pairs would be enough DNA to encode most proteins. But introns-"extra" or "nonsense" sequences inside genes-make many genes longer than that. Human genes are commonly around 27,000 base pairs long, and some are up to 2 million base pairs. Very simple organisms tend to have relatively small genomes. The smallest genomes, belonging to primitive, single-celled organisms, contain just over half a million base pairs of DNA. But among multicellular species, the size of the genome does not correlate well with the complexity of the organism. The human genome contains 3 billion base pairs of DNA, about the same amount as frogs and sharks. But other genomes are much larger. A newt genome has about 15 billion base pairs of DNA, and a lily genome has almost 100 billion.

Why do most viruses have a single strand genome while larger viruses have a double strand genome?

The larger are encoding hundreds more proteins and assembling more complex virions.
