Answer one:
A d.n.a chain is long enough to wrap around the world 42 times!
Answer two:
well.....technically speaking here (sorry but your answer is.... slightly wrong)
it's approximately 2 meters...
Final Answer, Regis:
But wait, you may both be correct...
If completely unraveled, human DNA would stretch from the Earth to the Moon. (Not sure if that is equivalent to around the world 42 times, but multiple sources give the unraveled length as from 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)"

Process used to amplify small DNA samples?
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a commonly used method to amplify small DNA samples. In PCR, the DNA sample is heated to separate the double-stranded DNA into single strands, then specific primers are added to flank the target DNA sequence. DNA polymerase then synthesizes new DNA strands complementary to the target sequence, resulting in exponential amplification of the DNA fragment.
What joins the deoxyribose sugars together in a chain?
phosphodiesterbonds
What is a method of making any copies of DNA?
One method of making copies of DNA is through a process called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In PCR, a DNA template is mixed with primers, nucleotides, and DNA polymerase, and subjected to cycles of heating and cooling to amplify the target DNA region. This results in millions of copies of the DNA target.
In any double chain of DNA the nucleotide adenine A matches up with which nucleotide?
In a double chain of DNA, the nucleotide adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) via complementary base pairing.
How are nucleotides in a single strand of a DNA molecule linked together?
Nucleotides in a single strand of a DNA molecule are linked together by strong chemical bonds called phosphodiester bonds. These bonds connect the sugar and phosphate groups of adjacent nucleotides, forming a long chain that makes up the DNA molecule.
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.
Which parts of the nucleotide forms the sides of the long chain knowns as DNA?
Sugar and phosphate form sides of DNA.
What constitute a long chain of simple sugars?
Polysaccharide constitutes a long chain of simple sugars. The genetic information is coded in DNA by the sequence of the nucleotides.
What are the differences between DNA and chromosomes?
DNA stands for Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid. It is double stranded and consists of nucleotides, Phosphoric acid and Ribose sugar. In a chromosome there is the presence of long chain of DNA folded together. If, thus folded DNA is stretched it can be 2-3 m long. Segments of the DNA chain to be precise the groups of base pairs are the gens which governs the characters. Hence, chromosome consists of DNA and in DNA, there is the presence of various types of genes.
DNA is a long chain of what smaller molecules?
DNA is a long chain of nucleotides, which contain a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine). These nucleotides are arranged in a specific sequence to encode genetic information.
Is DNA organic or an inorganic compound?
Organic compounds have varied characteristics. Deoxyribonucleic Acid, a.k.a DNA, is a double helical structure that is a long chain organic molecule.
Cell in plant?
Genetic materials that is made up of long chain of DNA coiled into a struture is caled?
What is a long chain of sugar molecules called?
It is called macromolecule, such as proteins, DNA and cellulose.
What is a long chain of nucleotide?
DNA(Deoxy Ribonucleic Acid) is the molecule which is formed of sequence of Nucleotide(A,T,G,C) to form a chain.
Which process uses bacteria to copy DNA?
Polymerase chain reaction
What is an error in the DNA chain?
A mutation
Who discovred DNA?
florie and chain
