Question

How long is a human DNA

Open in App

Solution

The DNA inside each of your cells is longer than you are, but packs down into a space smaller than you can see.

If you stretched the DNA in one cell all the way out, it would be about 2m long and all the DNA in all your cells put together would be about twice the diameter of the Solar System
