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 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.


What is a unit of inheritance composed of a sequence of nucleotides of DNA?

A unit of inheritance composed of a sequence of nucleotides of DNA is called a gene. Genes contain the instructions for building and maintaining an organism, and different genes control different traits or characteristics.


What genes are DNA and chromosomes?

DNA is composed of genes, which are segments of DNA that code for specific traits or functions in an organism. Chromosomes are structures made up of tightly-coiled DNA and associated proteins, containing many genes organized along their length. Genes are the units of heredity carried on chromosomes that determine an organism's traits.


Are genes on DNA and DNA on chromosomes?

Yes, genes are segments of DNA located on chromosomes. Chromosomes are structures composed of DNA and proteins that carry the genetic information of an organism, including genes that provide instructions for protein synthesis and other cellular processes.


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)


What monomers are called nucleotides?

Are genes composed of subunits known as nucleotides?

Yes, genes are composed of subunits known as nucleotides. These nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA molecules, which carry the genetic information in an organism. A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides that codes for a particular protein or RNA molecule.


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.
