If the DNA in a single human cell were stretched out, it would measure approximately 2 meters (about 6.5 feet) long. Considering there are about 37 trillion cells in the human body, the total length of DNA in an entire human would be around 74 trillion meters, or approximately 74 billion kilometers. This distance is equivalent to over 500 trips to the sun and back!

Why is it necessary for chromatin to condense into tightly packed chromosomes?
DNA does not condense into chromosomes. When cells divide so do chromosomes. Each chromosome provides the template for a new chromosome. The four bases match those on the old chromosomes and create new chromosomes. DNA does not just decide to get together, "Hey guys, lets get together and become a chromosome." ACTUALLY they do condense into chromosomes because it would be too big (if uncoiled and stretched out) to fit into a cell
If a body cell has 22 chromosomes what would be the chromosomes what would be the chromosomes count for the reproductive cells?
Reproductive cells have half the number of chromosomes as body cells, so if a body cell has 22 chromosomes, then the reproductive cells (sperm or egg) would have 11 chromosomes. This is because during sexual reproduction, the sperm and egg combine to form a new cell with the full number of chromosomes.
If the diploid chromosome number of a species is 24 then a cell with 12 chromosomes would be?
A cell with 12 chromosomes would be haploid. In humans, a haploid cell would have 23 chromosomes.
Known as one DNA molecule stretched out?
A stretched out DNA molecule is referred to as chromatin. Chromatin is the material that makes up chromosomes, and consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins. It is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
If a frog has 64 chromosomes how many diploid cells would it have?
If a frog has 64 chromosomes, it is likely diploid, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes. Therefore, it would have 32 pairs of chromosomes. Consequently, all diploid cells in the frog would also have 64 chromosomes, maintaining this diploid state in somatic cells.
How long would capillaries be if they were stretched out?

How long would a tuba be if it was stretched out?
If a tuba were fully stretched out, its length would be approximately 16 to 20 feet, depending on the specific model. Tubas are designed with a coiled shape to facilitate easier playing and transport, but when extended, the tubing can reveal its true length.
