Question

The human genome contains more than 3 billion (3 x 10') nucleotide base pairs, each nucleotide of the sugar phosphate backbone of DNA takes up 0.34 nanometer (1000 nanometers = 1 micrometer, 1000 micrometers = 1 millimeter, 10 millimeters = 1 centimeter), If a human genome were fully extended, how long would it be?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.02 meter

Explanation:

0.34 nanometer = 0.34×10^-9 meter

so, length of human genome = 3 billion× 0.34 nanometer =3 × 10^9 × 0.34 × 10^ -9 meter = 3 × 0.34 meter = 1.02 meter
