    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 \[\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]and contains 10 base pairs at a distance of 3.4 \[\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]. The width of DNA molecule is 20 \[\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\].
