Presentation Transcript

  1. Problem 4_4.1. • The E. coli cell is 2 mm in length and contains 4.3 million base-pairs of DNA. • Given your knowledge of B-DNA structural parameters, calculate the length of the E. coli genome. Give your answer in mm. 2. The human genome is 6x109 base-pairs. Calculate the length of the human DNA.

  2. Problem 4_4.1. • The E. coli cell is 2 mm in length and contains 4.3 million base-pairs of DNA. • Given your knowledge of B-DNA structural parameters, calculate the length of the E. coli genome. Give your answer in mm. 4.3x106bp = 1.5x103 µm

  3. 2. The human genome is 6x109 base-pairs. Calculate the length of the human DNA. 6x109bp = 2.04x106 µm
