A lot actually. The length of a PhD dissertation varies greatly by field, university, and department. My dissertation had 5 chapter: an Intro, 3 manuscripts chapters, and a conclusion.
Also, during my postdoc I produced far more than a single publication. You're making field specific assumptions and generalizing them — Richard Erickson. The nature of a PhD thesis varies wildly from field to field and also country to country.
Please make your question more specific. Out of curiosity, I looked for the largest digital dissertation file I have a copy of something I could do easily and quickly , and David E. Quick answer: Because they are single column, double spaced with big font and big margins — axsvl Add a comment.

I recognise that PhD theses vary in length; however in general theses have a substantially higher word count than a research publication. Number of papers as a marker of progress is annoying too. It is possible to publish papers without changing the world in any meaningful way.
AsymptoticTri Yes, they do, and my answer explains why, at least in my area, they would typically have at least 3 times as many words as a research publication, plus a few extra pages of context. I am also in biology. It is possible to publish papers without changing the world in any meaningful way — If changing the world in a meaningful way were a requirement for a successful PhD thesis, there would be very very very few PhDs, almost all awarded posthumously.
Anyon Anyon AsymptoticTri I'm happy it helped. You probably know that John Nash had one of the shortest PhD theses with only 26 pages and 2 references. Dmitry Savostyanov Dmitry Savostyanov AsymptoticTri The content in the intro and lit review of a paper is nowhere near as detailed as those in a thesis should be. That's the whole point: the candidate needs to be able to show that they understand the breadth of the field and how their research topic fits into that, as well as give an introduction to the broad picture so that a non-expert could understand the thesis.
A list can be helpful here as well, and you may want to arrange questions and hypotheses in relation to your methods.
Generally speaking, ethical issues arise in research that uses living subjects, and your university will almost certainly have regulations about how such subjects can be used in your research. Academic and scientific writing tends to lay out the ground of a document for its readers, and this can be an excellent way of connecting the end of your introduction to the beginning of your next chapter or section.
Remember as you are working to observe guidelines and heed the expert advice you receive that the primary goal of any scholarly introduction is to set the stage for writing about the procedures and results of the research. You therefore need to provide your readers with everything they require to understand the nature, value and meaning of the research you describe in greater detail in the chapters and sections to come.
If you have achieved this, then you have written an introduction both long enough and not too long. Unfortunately, it may still prove a little too short or long as far as those guidelines are concerned, in which case some creative editing may be required, but guidelines can often be flexible when the research demands it, so do be sure to discuss the matter with your mentors and examiners before finalising your introduction.
