The haploid content of human DNA is

A

`3.3 xx 10^(9)` bp

B

`3.3 xx 10^(9)` kbp

C

`4.6 xx 10^(6)` bp

D

48502 bp

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Humans are diploid which mean they have two set of each chromosome. Humans thus have 23 pairs of chromosome. The haploid content is 23 chromosomes. So by saying haploid content of DNA is `3.3 xx 10^(9)` bp, one means that 23 chromosomal of human have this much DNA.
