Question
The human body is said to contain approximately 50.0 grams of DNA in the entire body. If the number of nucleotides in ONE STRAND of DNA is approximately 3.0 times 10^6, and the average molar mass of a nucleotide is 327 g/mol, what is the average molar mass of an entire DNA double helix? The total mass of DNA in the body is 50.0 g. If the number of nucleotides in ONE STRAND of DNA is approximately 3.0 x 106, and the average length of a single nucleotide is 0.34 nm, what is the length (in km) of one strand of DNA when it is stretched out to its maximum length (not in a helix)? Using the average molar mass of a DNA double helix that you calculated in Question 2, what is the molarity of DNA in the human blood system. For the volume of blood, use the average volume of all the blood in a human body which is 4700 mL.Explanation / Answer
Total number of nucleotides is = (3.0x106) x 2
= 6.0x106
Average molar mass of DNA = (6.0 x 106 )(327)
= 1.962 x109 g/mol
