If the length of E. coli DNA is 1.36 mm, then how many base pairs are present in E. coil ?

A

`3.6 xx 10^(4)`

B

`3.6 xx 10^(6)`

C

`4.0 xx 10^(6)`

D

`4.6 xx 10^(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
No. of base pair `=("Total length")/("Length between 2 bases")`
`=(1.36xx10^(-3))/(0.34xx10^(-9))=4xx10^(6)`
