How many bases are there in a gene?

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.


Is nucleus contains 23 pairs of DNA?

Yes in the cell of human the nucleus contains 23 pairs of chromosomes and each chromosome has one DNA molecule, hence there are 23 pairs of DNA.


How many genomes are in the average human?

The average human has 1 genome, which consists of approximately 3.2 billion base pairs of DNA stored in the 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell.


What is the full human DNA sequence?

The full human DNA sequence is known as the human genome. It consists of over 3 billion base pairs of DNA arranged in 23 pairs of chromosomes. The Human Genome Project completed the mapping of the entire human genome in 2003.


How much DNA is in a gene and how much is in a genome?

Both genes and genomes come in a variety of sizes. About 1,000 base pairs would be enough DNA to encode most proteins. But introns-"extra" or "nonsense" sequences inside genes-make many genes longer than that. Human genes are commonly around 27,000 base pairs long, and some are up to 2 million base pairs. Very simple organisms tend to have relatively small genomes. The smallest genomes, belonging to primitive, single-celled organisms, contain just over half a million base pairs of DNA. But among multicellular species, the size of the genome does not correlate well with the complexity of the organism. The human genome contains 3 billion base pairs of DNA, about the same amount as frogs and sharks. But other genomes are much larger. A newt genome has about 15 billion base pairs of DNA, and a lily genome has almost 100 billion.

How much DNA can be found in a human?

A human cell typically contains about 6.4 billion base pairs of DNA, which is spread across 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). Each chromosome carries a different segment of DNA, resulting in a total of approximately 3.2 billion base pairs in a human cell.
