This sounds like a homework question, so instead of answering it directly, I'll give some hints.

* The DNA molecule comes in many sizes. Humans have 46 diploid chromosomes. The mass of DNA in a single human cell is on the order of 6.64e-12 grams. Apply this information to determine an average mass of a human chromosome.

* The mass of a mole of any molecule is the mass of a single molecule multiplied by Avogadro's Number.

* To make this more interesting, take your finding of the molar mass of DNA and determine the weight of one mole in a unit you are intimately familiar with, such as pounds. (It's a stupendously large number).
