Answer one:
A d.n.a chain is long enough to wrap around the world 42 times!
Answer two:
well.....technically speaking here (sorry but your answer is.... slightly wrong)
it's approximately 2 meters...
Final Answer, Regis:
But wait, you may both be correct...
If completely unraveled, human DNA would stretch from the Earth to the Moon. (Not sure if that is equivalent to around the world 42 times, but multiple sources give the unraveled length as from Earth to the Moon.)
If you stretch it and not unravel it, the distance is on average about 6 ft. (2 m) long, but is a very thin thread.
The single human chromosome on average consists of DNA molecules approximately 2 inches long.
The Physics Factbook [see link below] gives the formula of:
"The length is (length of 1 bp)(number of bp per cell) which is (0.34 nm)(6 × 109)"

∙ 13y agoA chain is a unit of length; it measures 66 feet or 22 yards or 4 rods or 100 links[1] (20.1168m). There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one statute mile. An acre is the area of 10 square chains (that is, an area of one chain by one furlong). The chain has been used for several centuries in Britain and in some other countries influenced by British practice.

What do promoters mark the beginning of on prokaryotic DNA?
It marks the beginning of the DNA chain
What is a molecular chain of nucleotides?
Very long strings of many simple molecules linked to one another.
Where is blueprint for the polypeptide chain that is insulin found?
DNA
What is a method of making any copies of DNA?
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the method of making copies of DNA.
What enzyme connects the new bases to the old bases in the DNA template?
The central enzyme involved is DNA polymerase, which catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the growing DNA chain.
DNA is a long chain of what smaller molecules?
nuclaic acid
Which parts of the nucleotide forms the sides of the long chain knowns as DNA?
Sugar and phosphate form sides of DNA.
What constitute a long chain of simple sugars?
Polysaccharide constitutes a long chain of simple sugars. The genetic information is coded in DNA by the sequence of the nucleotides.
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.
What are the differences between DNA and chromosomes?
DNA stands for Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid. It is double stranded and consists of nucleotides, Phosphoric acid and Ribose sugar. In a chromosome there is the presence of long chain of DNA folded together. If, thus folded DNA is stretched it can be 2-3 m long. Segments of the DNA chain to be precise the groups of base pairs are the gens which governs the characters. Hence, chromosome consists of DNA and in DNA, there is the presence of various types of genes.
Is DNA organic or an inorganic compound?
Organic compounds have varied characteristics. Deoxyribonucleic Acid, a.k.a DNA, is a double helical structure that is a long chain organic molecule.
How do DNA and cromosomes fit together?
Chromosomes are made of DNA. There is a huge amount of DNA in cells. DNA is typically present at a long chain of building blocks called nucleotides. Since long strands of DNA have to be stored in small spaces, they are tightly rolled and packed into structures called chromosomes
What is a long chain of sugar molecules called?
It is called macromolecule, such as proteins, DNA and cellulose.
Cell in plant?
Genetic materials that is made up of long chain of DNA coiled into a struture is caled?
What is a long chain of nucleotide?
DNA(Deoxy Ribonucleic Acid) is the molecule which is formed of sequence of Nucleotide(A,T,G,C) to form a chain.
Which process uses bacteria to copy DNA?
Polymerase chain reaction
Who discovred DNA?
florie and chain
