    Width of the DNA molecule is

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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