How long are the molecules of DNA?
DNA's approximately 1.8 meters long. If unraveled, it can stretch from the Earth's surface to the moon, which is about almost 400,000 kilometers.
Why would it be advantageous to the cell to have it's DNA molecules tightly condensed into nucleosomes during mitosis?
If you stretch out the DNA molecule form its one end to another, it will be close to 2m long. Therefore before a cell can divide into two during mitosis it is essential that the DNA is tightly and orderly compacted in the nucleus of the parent cell. Proper organization of the DNA is important for transmitting the genetic information of an organism from one cell to another.
In a cell the tangled long strands of DNA form the?
In a cell, the tangles of long strands of DNA form the
What would happen to a cell or organism if DNA did not got through replication?
It would not be a cell or organism as we understand it. DNA replication is the main event and if DNA had a purpose this would be it.
If you stretched out all the DNA in a single cell how long would it be?
It could reach from the Earth to the moon... so, approximately 238,000 miles.
How long can DNA from one cell stretch?
A cell DNA from one cell can stretch 6 feet
How long are the molecules of DNA?

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).

How long is DNA if completely unraveled?
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)"
How many times can a human DNa circle around the earth?
The average human DNA, if stretched out, would be about 3 meters long. Not quite long enough to stretch around the earth.
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).
Where would you find a cell's DNA in a cell?
DNA is a series of amino acids that are strung together to form a long strand, these form the chromosomes, which are located in the nucleus of the cell.
How long is the DNA from a single mammal cell?
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.

If your DNA could be removed from a cell uncoiled and stretched how long would it be?
It would be about 2 meters long. (National Institute of Health)
Why is it important that thr cell's DNA is duplicated before cell division?
If the DNA is not duplicated, then only one cell would have DNA, and a cell cannot live without DNA.
