A given double stranded $DNA$ molecule is $1,00,000$ base pairs long. The length of this $DNA$ molecule will be

A

$10,000 nm$

B

$3.4 \times {10^4}$$nm$

C

${10^4}$ $nm$

D

$2,00, 000 nm$

Solution

(b)The length of this $DNA$ molecule will be $3.4 \times {10^4}nm$ because one complete spiral of the helix is $3.4nm$ $(34A°)$ long and has $10$ base pairs.
