The size is different for each animal. The human DNA's length is:
If completely unraveled, human DNA would stretch from the Earth to the Moon.
If you stretch it and not unravel it, the distance is on average about 6 ft. (2 m) long, but is a very thin thread.
The single human chromosome on average consists of DNA molecules approximately 2 inches long.
The Physics Factbook [see link below] gives the formula of:
"The length is (length of 1 bp)(number of bp per cell) which is (0.34 nm)(6 × 109)"

∙ 12y agoIf stretched out from a single cell, the DNA would be about 2-3m long. The total length of DNA present in one adult human cell is calculated by the multiplication of: (length of 1 base pair)*(number of base pair per cell) = (0.34 × 10^-9 m)(6 × 10^9) on average.

How long can DNA from one cell stretch?
A cell DNA from one cell can stretch 6 feet
Why is DNA important to the cell?
DNA is the blueprint for cells. Used to reproduce for both single cell organisms and multicell orgainisms. In multi cell orgainisms, DNA is used to determine how the organism will turn out. DNA makes every organism unique. Every cell has the same DNA. The information provided by DNA tells cells what to do. It is responsible for the cells' functions.
What part of a cell contains chromosomes made of DNA?
In a eukaryotic cell, the chromosomes are located inside the nucleus. For a prokaryote, the single, circular chromosome is in the cytoplasm.
Why does DNA clump together in DNA extraction?
Single molecules of DNA are long and stringy. Each cell of your body contains six feet of DNA, but it's only one-millionth of an inch wide. To fit all of this DNA into your cells, it needs to be packed efficiently. To solve this problem, DNA twists tightly and clumps together inside cells. Even when you extract DNA from cells, it still clumps together, though not as much as it would inside the cell.
Where is DNA found in the cell in Prokaryotes?
DNA is found inside prokaryotic cells freely floating in the cytoplasm. It is in long strands bundled in the cell.
What do you call the single cell when a sperm's DNA combines with the egg's DNA?
the single cell when a sperm's DNA combines with the egg's DNA is called fertilization
What do ribosomes do in a mammal cell?
Produce DNA (Deoxyribonucleuc acid)
What is a long loose strand of DNA typical for the nucleus of a cell?
The chromatids are the threadlike strands that chromosomes of DNA take during cell division. Each of these consists of a single long strand of DNA double-helix.
Does protozoa contain a single circular cell of DNA?
single cell
What things are about a meter long?
If you take all the DNA from a single human cell and stretch it into a single connected line, the DNA polymer will be about 1 meter long (1.02 m to be more accurate).
Is DNA stored in one specific cell?
Every single cell in an animals body has DNA in it.
How large is DNA?
There is approximately 6ft of DNA inside a single cell.
How much DNA does a cell in your body hold?
A single cell in you body can hold 2 m DNA.
What are some things about a meter long?
If you take all the DNA from a single human cell and stretch it into a single connected line, the DNA polymer will be about 1 meter long (1.02 m to be more accurate).
How many DNA is in a single human cell?
one
Where is the DNA dor an organism found?
In eukaryotes, DNA is located on the chromosomes in the cell nucleus. In prokaryotes, DNA is located on a single chromosome in the cell cytoplasm.
In a cell the tangled long strands of DNA form the?
In a cell, the tangles of long strands of DNA form the
