Questions  

If the distance between two consecutive base pairs is 0.34 nm and the DNA is 4.08m. Calculate the number of base pairs present in the DNA.

a
9 x 106bp
b
4.4 x 106 bp
c
6.6 x 109 bp
d
12 x 109 bp

detailed solution

Correct option is D

The length of DNA = Distance between adjacent base pair x total number of base pair in diploid cell.χ x 0.34 x 10-9 (m) = 4.08 mχ = (4.08/ 0.34 x 10-9)= 12x109.
