human genome ca 3,2*109 with 40.000 Genes

to compare with cabbage : 6*108 with 100.000 Genes

...sobering



Taking into account that one base pair holds 1 bit of information, the entire human genome holds just over 390 MB (megabytes) of information.

Actually, it depends on the DNA conformation.

For the most common form, known as B-DNA, there are 10.5 base pairs per complete turn of one strand of cccDNA, there are 10 base pairs per turn of DNA bound to the nucleosome in a cell. The length of one turn of the helix is 3.4 nm (nanometers).

DNA(s) is double helix stranded structure which are made of sub-units called nucleotides. each strand is linked the other by hydrogen bond. therefore, there are three pairs of DNA in the triple helix model.
