No, a gene is larger than a nucleotide. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains instructions for making a specific protein, while a nucleotide is a building block of DNA that makes up genes.

What is bigger DNA or nucleotide?

Clearly, a nucleus is much larger than a nucleotide. A nucleotide is essentially a molecule. Therefore, it can only me measured in molecular dimensions. The nucleus is the largest organelle within a eukaryotic cell.

What are types of point mutation?

The types of point mutations are: base-pair substitution, insertions, deletions, and frameshift mutations. In base-pair substitution, one nucleotide and its corresponding partner are replaced with another pair of nucleotide. In insertion, nucleotide pairs are added to a gene. In deletion, nucleotide pairs are taken out of a gene. Frameshift mutation happens as a result of insertion or deletion when more or less than three (or a multiple of three) nucleotide pairs are added to or taken from a gene.


Is a homologous pair bigger than a gene?

What is the difference between an allele and a SNP?

An allele is a specific form of a gene, while a SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) is a variation in a single nucleotide within a gene. In other words, alleles are different versions of a gene, while SNPs are specific points of genetic variation within a gene.


What are three main types of gene mutations what happens in each gene?

The three main types of gene mutations are point mutations, insertion mutations, and deletion mutations. Point mutations involve changes to a single nucleotide base. Insertion mutations involve the addition of extra nucleotide bases. Deletion mutations involve the removal of nucleotide bases in a gene sequence.
