A given double stranded DNA molecule is 1,00,000 base pairs long. The length of this DNA molecule will be

a
10,000 nm
b
3.4 x 104 nm
c
104 millimicrons
d
2,00,000 nm

detailed solution

Correct option is B

length of each base pair is 3.4 Angstroms. The length of DNA with 100000 base pairs is 3.4 X 100000 angstroms or 3.4 X 10000 nm. i.e. 3.4 X 104 nanometers.
