Explanation:
ANSWER
The distance between two consecutive base pair is 0.34 nm (0.34X10
−9
m). The length of DNA for human diploid cell is 6.6X10
9
bp x 0.34X10
−9
m =2.2 metres. This length is far greater than the dimension of a typical nucleus which is approximately 10
−6
m. The long-sized DNA can be accommodated in the small area only through packaging or compaction.
