A DNA Nucleotide Pair Has an Average Mass of Approximately

question 56

Short Answer

A DNA nucleotide pair has an average mass of approximately 660 daltons. Knowing the number of nucleotides in the human genome, how many picograms of DNA are there in a diploid human nucleus? Avogadro's number is 6 × 10²³. Write down the picogram amount without decimals (round the number to the closest integer), e.g. 23 pg.
