DNA*
- Bacteriophage (Prokaryotic) Φ*174 = 5386 nucleotide
- Bacteriophage lambda has 48502 basepairs
- E coli (Bacteria) has 4.6*106 basepairs
- Haploid content in Human DNA (Gametes) has 3.3*109 basepairs
- Diploid content in Human DNA has 6.6*109 basepairs.
Packaging of DNA
Distance b/w two basepairs is 0.34nm, if length of dna in double helix in typical mammalian cell is calculated "Total no. of both * distance b/w two consecutive bp".
Length of DNA in Human cell is 2.2m
