What will be the length of a dsDNA strand, if it contains 100 base pairs?
- A 340\(A ^{\circ}\)
- B 170\(A ^{\circ}\)
- C 100\(A ^{\circ}\)
- D 200\(A ^{\circ}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 340\(A ^{\circ}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Each base pair contributes about 3.1 \(A ^{\circ}\) to the length of the DNA molecule. Therefore, 100 base pairs multiplied by 3.4 \(A ^{\circ}\) gives us the length of approximately 340 \(A ^{\circ}\).
