Question

Transcribed Image Text:The DNA molecule has the shape of a double helix. The radius of each helix is about 10 angstroms (1 Å= 10-8 cm). Each helix rises about 34 Å during each complete turn, and there are about
2.9 x 108 complete turns. Estimate the length (in Å) of each helix. (Round your decimal part to two decimal places.)
