Do most of the complex phenotype we observe come from a single gene?

No. A phenotype is what we see. The Human Genome Project has revealed that there are probably about 20,000-25,000 protein coding genes. There are most likely thousands more that have not been identified.

What numbers of protein that your genes produce?

Well I think this question may be misphrased. Proteins are mad eup of chians of amino acids. Amino acids are encoded/ made up of nucleotides that are encoded by genes. There are 20 different amino acids in the human body that combine to form hundreds of thousands of proteins. It is not possible to know how many proteins genes produce because not all genes have even been decoded yet. Furthermore, even if all of the genes in the human body had been identified, these genes would encode different sequences of nucleotides, that would then encode for different amino acids, that could then combine to form nearly endless types of proteins.

Are hox genes found in bacteria?

Hox genes are a hallmark of multicellular life and are not found in bacteria. Hox genes are just one type of a larger family of gene called "homeobox genes" (watch out, they sound similar!). Bacteria have genes that resemble homeobox genes (Kant et al. 2002) but they're only distantly related to those in multicellular life (Derelle, 2007), and definitely don't have Hox genes. Both plants and animals have homeobox genes, including the subset called Hox genes. The homeobox genes were first found in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and have subsequently been identified in many other species, from insects to reptiles and mammals.Homeobox genes were previously only identified in bilateria but recently cnidaria have also been found to contain homeobox domains and the "missing link" in the evolution between the two has been identified.Homeobox genes have even been found in fungi, for example the unicellular yeasts, and in plants.But no evidence of hox genes are found in bacteria

Absolutely, yet the genes that control this attribute may or may not have been identified - we'll have to ask someone else.

Was there a gene in chromosome 7 of the human genome that was named after a game character?

Yes, there was. A specific gene in chromosome 7 of the human genome was given the official name of "Sonic", in a tribute to Sonic the Hedgehog. However the name has now been retracted, as have all the other "comedy" names for human genes, to make the field a more serious subject.
