A typical eukaryotic chromosome found in humans contains about 100 million bp of DNA. As described in Chapter 9, one bp of DNA has a linear length of 0.34 nm.
a. What is the linear length of the DNA for a typical human chromosome in micrometers
B. What is the linear length of a 30-nm fiber of a typical human chromosome
C. Based on your calculation of part B, would a typical human chromosome fit inside the nucleus (with a diameter of 5 m) if the 30-nm fiber was stretched out in a linear manner If not, explain how a typical human chromosome fits inside the nucleus during interphase.
