The approximate size of a nucleus in a typical mammalian cell is about ______ meter and the length of DNA molecule is about ______ meters respectively.
Options
- A and 4.8
- B and 3.8
- C and 2.2
- D and 1.2
Correct answer
C. and 2.2
Step-by-step solution
The length of the DNA double helix in a typical mammalian cell is calculated by multiplying the total number of base pairs with the distance between two consecutive base pairs.
Length of DNA = m = m m.
The dimension of a typical mammalian nucleus is approximately m.
Thus, the approximate size of a nucleus is m and the length of the DNA molecule is m.
Answer: and 2.2
Length of DNA = m = m m.
The dimension of a typical mammalian nucleus is approximately m.
Thus, the approximate size of a nucleus is m and the length of the DNA molecule is m.
Answer: and 2.2
