How thousands of different genes can be formed with just 4 nucleotides?

Gene is the functional part of DNA, i.e. gene is made up of DNA and DNA is made of nucleotides in which there are sugar, phosphate group and bases. For DNA four bases are required Adinine, Guanine, Thyamine, Cytosine. They can be arranged in different sequence to form different protein of DNA, so the different sequential arrangement of bases lead to the formation of thousands of different gene from four bases.

What are genes formed from?
Gene consists of a long combination of four different nucleotide bases (chemicals). There are many possible combinations. The four nucleotides are:A (adenine)
C (cytosine)
G (guanine)
T (thymine)
A typical bacterial chromosome has 4.6 million nucleotides this supports how many genes?
4.4 thousand
Genes are found on what?
Chromosomes. Genes are currently being mapped for the correct "locus" or spot on the chromosome. Genes are traits that will be expressed based on dominance. Prime example, hair color.
Approximately how many genes do humans has?
Humans have about 20, 000 to 25,000 genes.
In bacteria a gene occurs as?
ONLY In bacteria do genes occur as unbroken stretches of Nucleotides that code for proteins.
What genes are DNA and chromosomes?
DNA is a large, polymeric biomolecule composed of four different types of subunits called nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides within the DNA molecule can encode information. All the information necessary to encode a protein is called a gene. DNA molecules can be extremely long - extending for millions of nucleotides. A chromosome is a single DNA molecule (encoding thousands of genes) plus associated proteins that provide structure and play key roles in the regulations of genes.
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.
Building blocks of genes?
nucleotides
Are genes on DNA and DNA on chromosomes?
Not quite. Don't think of these things being on each other. Genes and chromosomes are made of DNA. DNA is a large, polymeric biomolecule composed of four different types of subunits called nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides within the DNA molecule can encode information. All the information necessary to encode a protein is called a gene. DNA molecules can be extremely long - extending for millions of nucleotides.

Chromosomes are comprised of hundreds of?
Genes and nucleotides .
What is the functional segment of DNA?
Functional segments of DNA are called genes
What monomers are called nucleotides?
our genes code for this type of macromolecule?
How genes are formed?
genes are formed when a man and a woman make looove and a baby is formed thefore its genes are formed
Do all the nucleotides in human DNA belong to genes?
No - genes are the parts of DNA that code for a functional product (such as a protein). There are other parts of the DNA which are not genes.
How is a gene related to the sequence of nucleotides?
Genes are segments of DNA. DNA is made up of polymer of nucleotides joined together. When there is an alteration in the sequence of nucleotides, gene mutation occurs.
A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait?
Gene. Genes come in all different lengths of nucleotides and sometimes multiple genes code for one hereditary trait, as in polygenic inheritance.
