This can't be answered simply. Are we talking about prokaryotic or eukaryotic genes? If eukaryotic, there are a whole bunch of non-coding sequences that make up said gene that do not make it into the final translated product, but are required for the gene to get out of the nucleus and be translated into protein.
I think the smallest gene recorded so far apparently encodes a 7amino acid protein - so the coding sequence alone for that gene would be 24 aa's (3 per each amino acid + 3 for the start codon, ATG). In my own graduate research, I have worked with genes that are over 25kb, that is, 25000 nucleotides long. There are certainly genes that are much larger than that, as well.

How many different deoxyribonucleotides are there in DNA?
4. (deoxyadenylate, deoxyguanylate, deoxycitidylate, deoxythymidine) << all are ribonucleotides for each base of DNA (ATGC)
What is DNA polymersse?
an enzyme that helps catalyze in the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand.
How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
What kind of macromolecule is DNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that helps catalyze the polymerization of DNA bases (deoxyribonucleotides) into a DNA strand.
How many DNA are there in a gene?
In bacteria, the average length of gene is 1kilo bases
How many different deoxyribonucleotides are there in DNA?
4. (deoxyadenylate, deoxyguanylate, deoxycitidylate, deoxythymidine) << all are ribonucleotides for each base of DNA (ATGC)
What is DNA polymersse?
an enzyme that helps catalyze in the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand.
What is the difference between ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides?
Ribonucleotides have a hydroxl group on the 2 carbon of their sugar subunit
What is one role that triphosphate deoxyribonucleotides play in a cell?
Triphosphate deoxyribonucleotides form hydrogen bonds with their complements in a DNA parent strand during transcription of the leading strand of DNA. Example Adenine nucleotides bind to thymine nucleotides Guanine nucleotides bind to Cytosine nucleotides
Why is DNA polymerase a machine?
A DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand. See info at LINK.
How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene

What kind of macromolecule is DNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that helps catalyze the polymerization of DNA bases (deoxyribonucleotides) into a DNA strand.
What is the gene that causes bipolar disorder?
unknown, its probably not a single gene but instead many
