The human gametes have about 3 billion bp of DNA in their chromosomes.
a. Express the size of the diploid genome in kb (kilo bases; 1kb = 1000bp)
b. If the entire DNA was in relaxed B-DNA form, what would be the average length of a chromosome expressed in cm?
c. On average, how many complete turns would be in each chromosome?
d. If there are around 30-40,000 genes in a human gamete, how many genes are there in an average chromosome?
