A gene typically contains thousands to millions of base pairs.


How many DNA nucleotides make up a gene with a protein with 150 amino acids?

A gene with a protein containing 150 amino acids would require 450 nucleotides. This is because each amino acid is coded by three nucleotides in DNA.


How many alleles are typically present in a gene?

Typically, there are two alleles present in a gene, one inherited from each parent.


What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?

Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.


How many atoms are in a gene?

A typical human gene contains around 20,000 base pairs which translates to approximately 6,000 codons. Each codon consists of three nucleotides, so a gene can contain about 18,000 nucleotides. Since each nucleotide contains multiple atoms (e.g. carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus), it is difficult to provide an exact number of atoms without knowing the specific gene sequence.


How many copies of the p53 gene do humans have?

Humans typically have two copies of the p53 gene.


How many DNA are there in a gene?

A gene is made up of one continuous strand of DNA, which contains the instructions for producing a specific protein. Each gene contains a unique sequence of nucleotides that encode the information needed for protein synthesis.


If a protein is 3300 amino acids long how many nucleotides pairs long is the gene sequence that codes for this protein?

Since each amino acid is coded for by a combination of three nucleotide bases (a codon), the number of nucleotides in the gene sequence would be 3300 * 3 = 9900 nucleotide base pairs long.

The hunt for the gene was accomplished by the work of many dedicated researchers working cooperatively.

How many nucleotides is in the RNA primer?

Typically, an RNA primer used in DNA replication consists of about 10-12 nucleotides. This short sequence provides a starting point for DNA polymerase to begin synthesizing a new DNA strand.


How many deoxyribonucleotides are in a gene?

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.
