Why would it be advantageous to the cell to have it's DNA molecules tightly condensed into nucleosomes during mitosis?
If you stretch out the DNA molecule form its one end to another, it will be close to 2m long. Therefore before a cell can divide into two during mitosis it is essential that the DNA is tightly and orderly compacted in the nucleus of the parent cell. Proper organization of the DNA is important for transmitting the genetic information of an organism from one cell to another.
In a cell the tangled long strands of DNA form the?
In a cell, the tangles of long strands of DNA form the
How long are the molecules of DNA?
The length of a DNA molecule can vary depending on the organism and the specific gene sequence. On average, a single human chromosome can consist of DNA strands that are about 50 to 250 million base pairs long. Each base pair corresponds to about 0.34 nanometers in length along the DNA molecule.
If you took the entire DNA from all of your cells and uncoiled it it would?
If you took all the DNA from your cells and uncoiled it, it would stretch out to a total length of about 2 meters. This compact packaging allows the DNA to fit inside the nucleus of a cell while still containing all the genetic information needed for an organism.
If you stretched out all the DNA in a single cell how long would it be?
It could reach from the Earth to the moon... so, approximately 238,000 miles.
If you were to stretch the DNA from a cell out, how long would the strand be?
If you were to stretch the DNA from a cell out, the strand would be about 6 feet long.
How long can DNA from one cell stretch?
A cell DNA from one cell can stretch 6 feet
How many times can a human DNa circle around the earth?
If we stretch the DNA strand in a human cell, it can reach about 6 feet in length. Since the Earth's circumference is about 24,901 miles, a single DNA strand from a human cell could circle the Earth around 7,412,320 times.
What things are about a meter long?
If you take all the DNA from a single human cell and stretch it into a single connected line, the DNA polymer will be about 1 meter long (1.02 m to be more accurate).

How long is DNA if completely unraveled?
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)"
What are some things about a meter long?
If you take all the DNA from a single human cell and stretch it into a single connected line, the DNA polymer will be about 1 meter long (1.02 m to be more accurate).
How long would DNA be stretched out?
You have about 10 trillion cells in your body, so if you stretched the DNA in all the cells out, end to end, they'd stretch over 744 million miles. The moon is only about 250,000 miles away, so all your DNA would stretch to the moon and back alomst 1500 times. The sun is 93,000,000 miles away, so your DNA would reach there and back about 4 times!
How long is the DNA from a single mammal cell?
The size is different for each animal. The human DNA's length is: 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.

If you uncoiled the DNA in a human cell how long would it be?
Depending on what you want to know, I have two answers...1. If you unwound and tied together the strands of DNA in one of your cells, it would stretch up to six feet, but they would only be 50 trillionths of an inch.2. If you could unwrap the DNA you have in all the cells in your body, you would be able to reach the moon and back 6,000 times.
If your DNA could be removed from a cell uncoiled and stretched how long would it be?
It would be about 2 meters long. (National Institute of Health)
