As of April 2003 researchers estimated that building a human would require only about 24,500 genes (the Mustard Seed plant has about 25,000 and fruit flies about 13,000). When analysis of the draft human genome sequence was published in February 2001, there was estimated to be only about 30,000 to 40,000 protein-coding genes. This number will probably fluctuate as applications of the HGP are implemented
What else can I help you with?
Are we electrons?
No, though our bodies contain many of them
What do genes contain instructions for?
Genes contain instructions for building proteins.
Many transgenic plants contain genes that produce a natural?
pesticide
How many bodies of water does the earth contain?
a lot
How knowing about genes can help to understand how people are affected by certain diseases?
it can help us to understand that diseases are passed on from a parent to a child through genes; genes contain all the information, and molecules such as protein and deriboneucleuc acid perform chemical reactions in our bodies.
What do the chromosomes in your body contain thousands of?
Chromosomes in your body contain thousands of genes. Genes are segments of DNA that encode instructions for producing proteins, which are essential for various functions in the body. Each chromosome contains many genes that determine an individual's traits and characteristics.
How do chromosomes and genes play a role in the genetic variation of offspring?
DNA contain many genes. and with 2 different parents with many different genes and traits of their own, the number of possible combination is enormous
How many genes does zygote contain?
A zygote contains a full set of genes, which typically includes about 20,000 to 25,000 genes in humans. These genes come from the genetic material contributed by the sperm and egg during fertilization.
Not enough fat in diet?
why do our bodies contain fat? why do our bodies contain fat?
Does RNA contain genes?
RNA itself does not contain genes, but RNA is involved in the expression of genes. RNA is transcribed from genes in the DNA and carries the genetic information to create proteins through a process called translation.
Is a gene a complete chromosome?
No, a gene is a specific region of DNA that contains the instructions for making a particular protein or RNA molecule. A chromosome is a long strand of DNA that can contain many genes as well as other genetic material. Each chromosome may contain hundreds or thousands of genes.
Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
