Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, and just over 3 billion base pairs. Each cell in the human body has about 2m of DNA (if it were stretched out). This means that an average human's DNA would be 2 * 1011 km long!
This length is 500,000 times the distance to the moon (4 * 105 km).

Is the amount of DNA in a human body cell the same as the amount of DNA in a human egg cell?
No. The amount of DNA in human sperm cells is half of the amount found in body cells.
How much DNA is in the human body?
Well most of the body contains DNA but nobody knows really how but DNA you have in your body.
Human DNA is spliced into the?
human DNA are spliced into plasmid
Where can DNA be found other than the nucleus?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the 'language' that genes are 'written in'. The DNA in the nucleus composes the genome (complete set of genes) of the organism to which the cell belongs. Thus the human genome is the genome of the DNA within the nucleus of human cells. But DNA, in plants and other photosynthetic eukaryotes, is found composing a completely different genome within the chloroplasts. And in most eukaryotes including animals, plants and fungi, their is also a separate mitochondrial genome composed from DNA in the mitochondria. The theory of endosymbiosis explains the presence of DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Which best describes how scientistists found the human gene that makes insulin?
They worked backwards from mRNA to DNA
How would the DNA of a human compared to the DNA of a duck?
Very little. The content and structure is almost identical. The only difference is found in a few base pairs here and there.
Is guinea pig DNA and human DNA identical?
yes because i did a science experiment and found that the human DNA and the pigs DNA or practically the same .
Where DNA is found in cells?
In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is found in the nucleus.
DNA is found in the nucleus in people yes or no?
Yes, DNA is found in the nucleus of a human. Learned it in Science just a few weeks ago.
Is the amount of DNA in a human body cell the same as the amount of DNA in a human egg cell?
No. The amount of DNA in human sperm cells is half of the amount found in body cells.
Do you extract human DNA the same as animal DNA?
Yes. The DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell. It's simply a case of extracting the DNA from the cell.
How much DNA can a human cell hold?
as much as your mom gives you
How much DNA is in the human body?
Well most of the body contains DNA but nobody knows really how but DNA you have in your body.
What are 2 nucleic acids found in the human body?
There are two: DNA and RNA.
Where is extrachromasomal DNA is found?
in chloroplast and mitocondria
In the human body where is DNA found?
DNA is found in every cell througout the body, with the cells, the genetic information is contained within the nucleus of each cell
Is there a skull that was found not human and not animal They supposably got dna from it marro... I do not know?
They have extracted DNA from Neanderthal bone marrow. Is that what you mean?
