How many atoms are in a gene?

Answer 1

12?

Answer 2

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.
