Question

If length o



e.Coli dna is 1.36 mm can you calculate no.Of base pair in e coli

Answer 1

Meselson and Stahl's Experiment was an experimental proof for semiconservative DNA replication hypothesesis. In 1958, Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl conducted an experiment on E.coli which divides in 20 minutes, to study the replication of DNA.

Answer 2

Distance between two consecutive base pair = 0.34 nm

Total length of given DNA = 1.36mm  

∴ total no. of base pair =  1.36mm /0.34nm

⇒ 4 × 10⁶ Base pair.
