How many nucleotides are there in one gene?

Best Answers

If the average protein length as 500 amino acids, every gene would have on average 1500 nucleotides. 480 genes 1500 bases long = 720,000. So the proteins of m.genitalium must be smaller than that on average, but that's realistic. read more

It depends on the gene but if u want a rough average then in a single cell there's about 6 billion nucleotides and about 23,000 genes. Just divide which gives you about 261,000 per gene. But it depends on each gene that's just an estimate. read more
