Identify the correct statement:

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Length of DNA is the characteristic of an organism. E.g., Bacteriophage φ ×174 has 5386 nucleotides, Bacteriophage lambda has 48502 base pairs (bp), Escherichia coli has 4.6 × 106 bp, and haploid content of human DNA is 3.3 × 109 bp.DNA is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides. The length of DNA is measured in terms of number of nucleotides if DNA is single stranded in an organism or nucleotide or base pairs if the organism has double stranded DNA.
