. Please let me know if I should elaborate on any of the steps below.
The lower case letter represents the recessive allele.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture consisting of a solute dissolved into a solvent . The solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the solvent is the dissolving medium. Solutions can be formed with many different types and forms of solutes and solvents.
To determine the number of dna molecules that can be stacked as requested in this item, we convert the given measurements in a single unit. For simplicity, we convert all the lengths to meters.
Length of DNA molecule = (2.5 nm)(1 x 10^-9 m/1 nm) = 2.5 x 10^-9 nm
Height of a person = (5 ft 10 in)(12 inches/ 1ft)(2.54 cm/1 in)(1 x 10^-2 m/ 1 cm)
= 1.778 m
Then, divide the height of the person by the length of a single DNA molecule.
n = 1.778 m / (2.5 x 10^-9)
n = 7.112 x 10^8
Hence, the number of DNA would be 7.112 x 10^9.
