Concentrated DNA (chromosomal, it matters because the proteins affect it too) is extremely viscous. If you extract DNA from say a fruit, what you will get is a white fibrous material, or a sort of whitish-yellowish gel.

Highly concentrated chromosomal DNA is very viscous. When we were purifying it, if the solution every became fluid and not "snotty" we knew we had lost the DNA somewhere.

It depends on the concentration. It can range from essentially zero to highly viscous directly correlated to the DNA concentration.

You need to specify the concentration, and the MW of the DNA to get a specific value
