Allele
A gene typically contains thousands to millions of base pairs.
A gene pair consists of two versions of a gene, one inherited from each parent. These gene pairs determine traits and characteristics in an individual by providing instructions for the production of proteins that influence physical and biological features. The combination of gene pairs in an individual's genetic makeup determines their unique traits and characteristics.
Genes can vary in size, but the largest known gene in humans is the dystrophin gene, which is about 2.4 million base pairs long.
A gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous gene. A homozygous gene, meanwhile, is a gene pair consisting of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
The average gene length in a typical human genome is about 27,000 base pairs.

Guanine and Cytosine, and Thymine and Adenine.
A gene pair is called an allele. An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is located on a specific chromosome at a specific place.
Polygenic Inheritance!
It's called law of independent assortment.
A gene typically contains thousands to millions of base pairs.
No, not exactly. They are different forms of the same gene.

Humans typically have about 23,000 genes, organized into 23 pairs of chromosomes. Each pair consists of one chromosome inherited from each parent, resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes. Thus, in terms of gene pairs, humans have approximately 23,000 pairs of genes, with each gene generally existing in two copies (one from each parent).
When a group of gene pairs act together, they can have a synergistic effect where their combined action results in a greater impact than each gene individually. This coordinated action is essential for many biological processes, such as development, metabolism, and response to environmental stimuli. Dysregulation of gene pairs working together can lead to disease or abnormal phenotypes.
Genes usually come in pairs because an organism can inherit a given gene from both parents. Six genes is not a lot, that would be a small portion of a genome.
