What will be the length of a dsDNA strand, if it contains 100 base pairs?

  1. A 340\(A ^{\circ}\)
  2. B 170\(A ^{\circ}\)
  3. C 100\(A ^{\circ}\)
  4. D 200\(A ^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

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 \(A ^{\circ}\).
