Q. The total number of nitrogenous bases in human genome is estimated to be about

AIIMSAIIMS 2008

Solution:

Genome is a complete set of genes present in a haploid set of chromosomes contributed by a parent and C-value is the haploid $(n)$ amount of DNA in a eukaryotic cell. C-value of human genome is $2.8$ picogram or $1.8 \times 10^{12}$ daltons or $2.75 \times 10^{9}$ base pairs. The total length of DNA is $94\, cm$, which have about $3.1$ billion bases.
