Question

How many nucleotides are in the human genome?

Answer 1

Nucleotides in the human genome

1. The human genome contains 3.1 billion nucleotide pairs in a haploid set.
2. The nuclear genome comprises approximately 3,200,000,000 DNA nucleotides
3. These are divided into 24 straight molecules, 50,000,000 shorter nucleotides, and 260,000,000 longer long nucleotides.
4. Each is contained in a different chromosome.
5. Thus most cells have 6.2 billion basic pairs.
