Are the genes coding for one antibody entirely different from those coding for a different antibody?

no, not entirely. Each antibody (Immunoglobulin, "Ig") has both 2 constant regions referred to as "heavy hains" and 2 variable regions referred to as "light chains". The structure of the heavy chains remain the same between the different antibody structures. However, the light chains differ in structure enabling them to respond differently to different specific antigens introduced to the cellular membrane.

The constant regions have a identical sequence (remaining constant in structure) and the variable regions have a different sequence (differing in structure) that form in the response to different antigens that are introduced to the cell.

How many genes are there in DNA?
Different species have different numbers of genes. About 1.5% of human DNA is genes - and it is estimated that there are around 23,000 protein-coding genes.
Environmental factors affect the coding of genes?
yes it can affect the coding of genes.
Do chromosomes have the same or different genes?
There are many more genes than chromosomes. The Human Genome Project currently has identified about 20,000 protein-coding genes, while there are only 46 chromosomes in the human genome.
If a Mother is A positive blood group and a Father is A positive blood group can they have a child that is B positive blood group?
NO... bcoz only AO genes are present....when both are coding for antibody A, there's no chance of getting a B group of blood
How do genes control fetures?
The coding, which is essentially the framework, for all of your features are contained within genes.
How many genes are there?
Your question is vague - I do not know what you mean by "there"? Assuming you are referring to people, it is estimated that there are around 23,000 genes. But other species will have entirely different numbers.
Genes that are transcribed are called?
Genes that get transcribed is called structural gene. It is also known as the amino acid coding region.Our genome is made up of alternating introns and exons.Introns are the non-coding region the the genome whereas exons are the coding sequences.
Is a gene the same thing as a chromosome?
No - genes are sections of DNA found on chromosomes that encode for a functional product (like a protein).Chromosomes are compact structures of DNA and proteins.
What genes are responsible for coding for self proteins?
MHC (major histocompatibility complex)
What is an explanation of What independent assortment mean?
Genes passed to offspring that code for a particular trait are not linked to different genes which code for different traits. ie. The gene for brown eyes assorts independently to the offspring and would not be effected by the gene coding for the trait of brown hair, for example.
What are protein coding genes?
its genome sequence and blueprint of organisms, the set of instructions explaining its biological traits. The unfolding of these instructions is launched by the transcription of DNA into RNA sequences. Based on the standard model, the majority of RNA sequences stem from protein-coding genes, namely, they’re processed into mRNAs after their export to the cytosol and are translated into certain proteins.
What are coding segments?
"Coding segments" is the term given to genes, segments of the DNA strand that code for a protein. Much of an organism's genome is non-coding segments, portions that do not have a role in protein synthesis.
