In an experiment, DNA is treated with the compound which tends tol place itself amongst the stacks of nitrogenous base pairs. As a result of this, the distance between two consecutive base increases .From 0.34-0.44nm calculate the length of DNA double helix (Which has `2xx10^(9)bp) in the presence of saturating of this compound.

Text Solution

The distance between two consecutive base pairs is 0.34 * 10^-9 m , what will be the length of DNA double helix in a typical mammalian cell?

If the distance between two consecutive base pairs is 0.34nm and the toal number of base pairs of a DNA double helix in a typical mammalian cell is 6,6xx10^9 bp, then the length of the DNA is approximately

The distance between two consecutive DNA base pairs is 0.34 nm . If the length of a chromosome is 1mm, the number of base pairs in the chromosome is approximately-

(a) In what way is diffraction from each slit related to the interference pattern in a double slit experiment ? (b) Two wavelengths of sodium light 590 nm and 596 nm are used, in turn, to study the diffraction taking place at a single slit of aperture 2 xx 10^(-4)m. The distance between the slit and the screen is 1.5 m. Calculate the separation between the positions of the first maxima of the diffraction pattern obtained in the two cases.
