Question

If the length of e coli dna is 1.36mm calculate the number of base pairs in e coli

Answer 1

Hey dear ✌....

Here's your answer ✌...

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.

Hope this will be helpful to you dear....

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Its quite easy.

First of all, note this FACT- The length between two base pair is 0.34nm.

Total length of double helix DNA = total number of base pairs * distance between two bp

here, total no. of base pair is unknown, let us assume it to be X.

1.3mm=X*0.34x10`9

on solving further you get 4x10`6.
