The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the distance between two successive base pairs in DNA, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Structure of DNA**: - DNA is composed of two strands forming a double helix, where the base pairs (adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine) are located in the center. 2. **Identify the Distance Between Base Pairs**: - The question specifically asks for the distance between two successive base pairs in the DNA structure. 3. **Recall the Factual Information**: - It is a well-established fact in molecular biology that the distance between two successive base pairs in the DNA double helix is approximately 3.4 nanometers (nm). 4. **Conclude the Answer**: - Therefore, the answer to the question is that the distance between two successive base pairs is 3.4 nm. ### Final Answer: The distance between two successive base pairs is **3.4 nm**. ---
