Problem 10.23 in book: There are 3.4 billion base pairs lined up end to end in one human DNA molecule, which contains the entire

genetic code for the makeup of an individual person. Each base pair measures approximately 350 pm in length, and almost every cell in the body contains two complete DNA molecules. (a) If one DNA molecule was stretched end to end, how far would it stretch

Solution :

The total number of the base pairs in a human DNA molecule is given as

= 3.4 billion

= 3,400,000,000

The length of each of the pair of DNA  = 350 pm

                                                            $=350 \times 10^{-12} \ m$

a). Therefore the maximum length of the DNA when it is completely stretched end to end can be found out as  $=350 \times 10^{-12} \times 3,400,000,000 $

                                                                  = 1.19 m

                                                                  = 0.00119 km

Now 1 km = 0.6213711 miles

∴ 0.00119 km would be = 0.00119  x 0.6213711

                                     = 0.000739432 miles.

38. the anterior portions of the nasal cavities just inside the nostrils are known as the ____.
max2010maxim [7]

The anterior portions of the nasal cavities just inside the nostrils are known as the Vestibules

<h3>What are nasal vestibules? </h3>
  • The nasal vestibule is the area just inside the nostril (nose opening) that leads into the nasal cavity.
  • The nasal vestibule contains cartilage of the nose and is lined with tissue that contains small, course hair. These hairs help filter dust, sand, and other particles to stay them from entering the lungs.
  • The vestibule of the traditional adult nose is a specialized organ with very characteristic structures and specific functions and is the beginning of each nasal passage. Here the tract makes its first contact with the outside world of air.
  • The vestibule is surrounded almost entirely by its half the nasal lobule, bounded laterally by the ala, or wing, medially by the mobile septum and columella, superiorly by the cul-de-sac and limen vestibuli, and posteriorly by the skin lying on the alveolar ridge of the superior maxilla
