82. The molecular weight of a gene is determined directly by the

A. Number of lipid layers surrounding the chromosome
B. Total number of nucleotide base pairs making up its sequence
C. Concentration of amino acids stored in the cell nucleus
D. Number of ribosomes attached to its promoter

📝 Explanation

The mass of a gene depends on its length; longer nucleotide sequences contain more base pairs, increasing the total molecular weight.

📖 Additional Information

  • Number of lipid layers surrounding the chromosome
  • Total number of nucleotide base pairs making up its sequence
  • Concentration of amino acids stored in the cell nucleus
  • Number of ribosomes attached to its promoter
