    Width of the DNA molecule is

    A) \[15\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]                                              

    B) \[20\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]                              

    C)  \[25\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]                             

    D)         \[34\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The 3-D structure of DNA is represented by a double helix, in which each turn has a diameter of 34 \[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\] and contains 10 base pairs at a distance of 3.4 \[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\]. The width of DNA molecule is 20 \[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\].
