Concept explainers
(a) Interpretation:
The average human chromosome contains about
Concept introduction:
Compaction ratio is the ratio of extended length to actual length. Length of total DNA is the product of extended average length of DNA, total number of chromosomes per cell and total number of cells. On dividing total DNA length by the distance between the Sun and the Earth, the ratio of the lengths is obtained.
(b) Interpretation:
The length of extended DNA should be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Compaction ratio is the ratio of extended length to actual length. Length of total DNA is the product of extended average length of DNA, total number of chromosomes per cell and total number of cells. On dividing total DNA length by the distance between the Sun and the Earth, the ratio of the lengths is obtained.
(c) Interpretation:
An actual chromosome is about

On dividing total DNA length by the distance between the Sun and the Earth, the ratio of the lengths is obtained.
(d)Interpretation:
You have about
