what is the lentgh of the DNA in human cell?

Answer 1

I'd like to redirect the question a little... if I may.
Like a strand of DNA, if you try to measure around a tree, say, with a string, you'll find that the string "jumps" across the "peaks" of the bark. But then, even as you looked and measured more closely, you'd find smaller cracks...upon smaller cracks...upon smaller cracks.

"Any measurement of Nature that smooths out its irregularities in order to allow measurement is not objective. It is, in fact, highly subjective."

and

(Buckminster Fuller quote) "All experiments show that with ever closer inspections, the mathematicians, 'straight' lines become obviously ever less straight."

and

"So the idea of quantitatively measuring Nature, of measuring a coastline, of 'coastline length' itself, as the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot remarks, 'turns out to be an elusive notion that slips between the fingers of one who wants to grasp it. All measurement methods ultimately lead to the conclusions that the typical coastline's length is very large and so ill determined that it is best considered infinite. Hence...length is an inadequate concept.' "

(Besides, I heard it could stretch to the moon and back [maybe a few times])

Answer 2

If you unwind it, it's about 2 meter!!

Answer 3

hey! it's consists of two long chains of nucleotides twisted together ... how can you compute it?
