You have about 10 trillion cells in your body, so if you stretched the DNA in all the cells out, end to end, they'd stretch over 744 million miles. The moon is only about 250,000 miles away, so all your DNA would stretch to the moon and back alomst 1500 times. The sun is 93,000,000 miles away, so your DNA would reach there and back about 4 times!
The length of a DNA molecule can vary depending on the organism. For example, the human genome is composed of approximately 3 billion base pairs, which, if stretched out end to end, would be about 6 feet long.
DNA is a polymer or nucleotides and so varies in length from organism to organism. In Eukaryotes the DNA is split onto many Chromosomes not just one. In Prokaryotes there are structures called Plasmids which also carry DNA. A very interesting note about how thin human DNA is compared to its length is that if you stretched it out and it was a thick as a pencil line it would reach from London to New York City. If you unraveled the DNA of all the humans on the planet, it would go from Earth to the nearest galaxy and back 60 TIMES!!! More: 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)"
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)"
Chromosomes vary in size, but the DNA would generally be a few cm (inches). The total length of one copy of all chromosomes is about 1 meter (a little over 3 feet). Since you have one copy from each parent, the total is about 2 meters per cell.
Well most of the body contains DNA but nobody knows really how but DNA you have in your body.
It would be about 2 meters long. (National Institute of Health)
If a single molecule were stretched out it would be 1-3 meters long.
The length, if unpacked and stretched out, would be about six foot long.
The DNA strand in E. coli is approximately 1.36 millimeters long when fully stretched out.
1600 km
The length of all the DNA in your body stretched out would go from the earth to the sun and back.....600 times.
If we stretch the DNA strand in a human cell, it can reach about 6 feet in length. Since the Earth's circumference is about 24,901 miles, a single DNA strand from a human cell could circle the Earth around 7,412,320 times.
If you were to stretch the DNA from a cell out, the strand would be about 6 feet long.
A stretched out DNA molecule is referred to as chromatin. Chromatin is the material that makes up chromosomes, and consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins. It is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
About 6-10 meters laying out.
The length of a DNA molecule can vary depending on the organism. For example, the human genome is composed of approximately 3 billion base pairs, which, if stretched out end to end, would be about 6 feet long.
An adult daddy long legs will have segmented legs, that when stretched out would be about 5 to 6cm long.
