This can't be answered simply. Are we talking about prokaryotic or eukaryotic genes? If eukaryotic, there are a whole bunch of non-coding sequences that make up said gene that do not make it into the final translated product, but are required for the gene to get out of the nucleus and be translated into protein.
I think the smallest gene recorded so far apparently encodes a 7amino acid protein - so the coding sequence alone for that gene would be 24 aa's (3 per each amino acid + 3 for the start codon, ATG). In my own graduate research, I have worked with genes that are over 25kb, that is, 25000 nucleotides long. There are certainly genes that are much larger than that, as well.
What else can I help you with?
How many different deoxyribonucleotides are there in DNA?
There are four different deoxyribonucleotides in DNA, each with a different nitrogenous base: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These nucleotides serve as the building blocks of DNA molecules.
How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
What is DNA polymersse?
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of DNA molecules from deoxyribonucleotides during DNA replication. It is responsible for adding new nucleotides to the growing DNA strand based on the complementary base pairing rules. DNA polymerase plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the genetic information during cell division.
How many copies of each gene are there on autosome?
8
How many children did Gene pitney have?
Yes, he had three sons.
What is the difference between ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides in terms of their structure and function?
Ribonucleotides contain a ribose sugar molecule, while deoxyribonucleotides contain a deoxyribose sugar molecule. Ribonucleotides are used in RNA synthesis, while deoxyribonucleotides are used in DNA synthesis.
What is the difference between a ribonucleotide and a deoxyribonucleotide in terms of their structure and function?
Ribonucleotides contain a ribose sugar and deoxyribonucleotides contain a deoxyribose sugar. Ribonucleotides are used in RNA synthesis, while deoxyribonucleotides are used in DNA synthesis.
How many different deoxyribonucleotides are there in DNA?
There are four different deoxyribonucleotides in DNA, each with a different nitrogenous base: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These nucleotides serve as the building blocks of DNA molecules.
What is the difference between ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides?
The main difference is the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group on the 2' carbon of the ribose sugar in ribonucleotides, whereas deoxyribonucleotides lack this hydroxyl group. This small difference affects the stability and structure of RNA and DNA molecules. Ribonucleotides are used for RNA synthesis while deoxyribonucleotides are used for DNA synthesis.
What is one role that triphosphate deoxyribonucleotides play in a cell?
Triphosphate deoxyribonucleotides form hydrogen bonds with their complements in a DNA parent strand during transcription of the leading strand of DNA. Example Adenine nucleotides bind to thymine nucleotides Guanine nucleotides bind to Cytosine nucleotides
Why is DNA polymerase a machine?
A DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand. See info at LINK.
How many pages does The Unselfish Gene have?
The Unselfish Gene has 368 pages.
What is the gene that causes bipolar disorder?
unknown, its probably not a single gene but instead many
How many pages does The Gene Wars universe have?
The Gene Wars universe has 390 pages.
How many pages does The Knight - Gene Wolfe - have?
The Knight - Gene Wolfe - has 432 pages.
How many pages does A Midsummer Night's Gene have?
A Midsummer Night's Gene has 288 pages.
What is the function of a DNA?
There are different types of DNA polymerase depending if it's from a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell each performing specific tasks. Basically DNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of a polymer, a DNA strand, from many monomers, deoxyribonucleotides.
