Question

Mention the number of base pairs in the DNA of each of the following : 1. Phi 174 phage 2. Lambda phage 3. E.coli 4. Human being

Answer 1

Bacteriophage lambda has 48502 base pairs( bp) E. Coli has 4.6 * 10^6 bp Haploid content of DNA in a human cell is 3.3 * 10^9 bp Diploid content of DNA in a human cell is 6.6 * 10^9 bp

Answer 2

Bacteriophage lambda = 48502 bp.

E. Coli = 4.6 * 10^6 bp.

Human cell =3.3 * 10^9 bp (Haploid).

Human cell = 6.6 * 10^9 bp  (Diploid).
