this isn't a very well put question if you meant how many base pairs there are in DNA there are 4- adenine thymine cytosine and guanine (A links to T and C links to G) but you could argue that they are in the chromosomes (which they are and therefore the question is absolutely fine) . or if you wanted to say how many pairs of chromosomes are there there are 23 pairs and 46 altogether.
There are about 3.2 billion base pairs and 23 chromosomes in the human genome. If you do the math (3.2 x 10^9)/23 = 1.4 x 10^8 or about 140 million base pairs on average in a human chromosome.

∙ 12y agoThere are about 3 billion base pairs in the human genome (DNA molecule), and around 20,000-25,000 genes, so that gives 120,000-150,00 base pairs per gene on average. But I have no reason to think that genes are even approximately similar in length.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt varies but you could say about 800 to 1200 base pairs in a single gene.

∙ 13y agoThere are four different kinds. If you're asking for a count, then it varies depending on the gene.

How many DNA are there in a gene?
In bacteria, the average length of gene is 1kilo bases
Can single gene on a chromosome contain only one pair of nitrogen bases?
No because a single gene is made up of many bases in a row in a chromosome that may contain anywhere from several hundred to a million or more nitrogen bases.
How many bases does a gene coding for a polypeptide made of 51 amino acids have?
153
What makes alleles of the same gene different from each other?
A gene consists of a specific sequence of bases; variations in that sequence make for a different gene.
What does the order of the bases in DNA ultimately?
Order of bases in a gene codes for the amino acid assembly into a protein.

The order of the bases along a gene determines the order in which?
the order of the bases along a gene determine the order in which
What is One difference between the gene that codes for insulin and the gene that codes for testosterone in humans?
The gene of insulin has a different sequence of molecular bases than the gene of testosterone.
A section of DNA that codes for one protein?
A piece of DNA that codes for a particular protein is called a gene.
Why are genes distinguished by bases but not by the sugar-phosphate backbone?
The base sequence is what makes one gene different from another. There are four bases which can be arranged in many different sequences. The sugar phosphate backbone is the same in all the genes. It is impossible to identify a gene by this.
How do the nitrogen bases along a gene serve as a genetic code?
The order of the nitrogen bases along a gene forms a genetic code that specifies what type of protein will be produced
The order of the base along a gene determines the order in which?
the order of the bases along a gene determine the order in which
What would be in a gene if it's mutated?
The gene would most likely have the hydrogen bases matched with the wrong hydrogen bases, such as A and G, or C and A, or T with G, or T with C.
What makes alleles of the same gene different from each other?
A gene consists of a specific sequence of bases; variations in that sequence make for a different gene.
Which type of mutation results when bases added to a gene?
