How many bases are there in a gene?

Answer 1

this isn't a very well put question if you meant how many base pairs there are in DNA there are 4- adenine thymine cytosine and guanine (A links to T and C links to G) but you could argue that they are in the chromosomes (which they are and therefore the question is absolutely fine) . or if you wanted to say how many pairs of chromosomes are there there are 23 pairs and 46 altogether.

There are about 3.2 billion base pairs and 23 chromosomes in the human genome. If you do the math (3.2 x 10^9)/23 = 1.4 x 10^8 or about 140 million base pairs on average in a human chromosome.

Answer 2

There are about 3 billion base pairs in the human genome (DNA molecule), and around 20,000-25,000 genes, so that gives 120,000-150,00 base pairs per gene on average. But I have no reason to think that genes are even approximately similar in length.

Answer 3

It varies but you could say about 800 to 1200 base pairs in a single gene.

Answer 4

4! A, T, G, C. Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine.

Answer 5

There are four different kinds. If you're asking for a count, then it varies depending on the gene.

Answer 6

Theres many DNA Cells in a chromosome. 46 Chromosomes make a human, 23 from each parent. A chromosome makes a gene.

Answer 7

A gene consists of four bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G), which form the building blocks of DNA.

Answer 8

120-150000
