What is the longest gene?

DMD gene

What is the shortest human gene?

Chromosome 21 is both the smallest human autosome and chromosome, with 48 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) representing about 1.5 percent of the total DNA in cells….

Why do boys get more DMD than girls?

Duchenne MD affects boys more often than girls because the dystrophin gene is on the X chromosome. Boys have only one X chromosome and girls have two. So girls can almost always make working dystrophin using the dystrophin gene on their second X chromosome.

Which is the smallest gene?

mccA gene

Is a gene or DNA bigger?

A gene produce a specific product, usually a protein, or an enzyme that are used for specific action. The DNA molecules contains thousands of genes which is located inside chromosomes. Therefore, gene is smaller than DNA.

Which is the largest chromosome?

Chromosome 1 is the largest human chromosome, spanning about 249 million DNA building blocks (base pairs) and representing approximately 8 percent of the total DNA in cells. Identifying genes on each chromosome is an active area of genetic research.

Why is chromosome 1 the largest?

Chromosome 1 is the designation for the largest human chromosome. Humans have two copies of chromosome 1, as they do with all of the autosomes, which are the non-sex chromosomes. Chromosome 1 spans about 249 million nucleotide base pairs, which are the basic units of information for DNA.

Why is chromosome 21 smaller than 22?

The X and Y chromosomes are not autosomes. However, chromosome 21 is actually shorter than chromosome 22. This was discovered after the naming of Down syndrome as trisomy 21, reflecting how this disease results from possessing one extra chromosome 21 (three total).

What happens if you are missing chromosome 1?

1 microdeletion have delayed development, particularly affecting the development of motor skills such as sitting, standing, and walking. The intellectual disability and learning problems associated with this genetic change are usually mild. Distinctive facial features can also be associated with 1q21.
