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)"

How long does DNA replication take to complete in a cell?
DNA replication typically takes around 8 hours to complete in a cell.
What two membranes need to be broken down to release DNA from a plant cell?
The cell wall and the cell membrane need to be broken down to release DNA from a plant cell. These barriers protect the DNA inside the cell and need to be disrupted to access the genetic material.
Long strands of DNA that are uncoiled?
Chromatin are long, uncoiled strands of DNA. Chromatin contain the genetic information of the cell. Cytoplasm is the clear fluid or gel that surrounds the organelles outside the nucleus.
What DNA is found in the cell nucleus?
there is no DNA in the cell nucleus however the cell nucleus is important to replicating a cell in DNA strand. (it supprots the chromatin that replicates the DNA)
