Vedclass · Answer

(C) In a $DNA$ double helix,one full turn (pitch) consists of $10$ base pairs and measures approximately $34 \ \mathring A$ in length.Given that the $DNA$ molecule has three turns,the total length can be calculated as:$	ext{Total length} = 	ext{Number of turns} 	imes 	ext{Length per turn}$$	ext{Total length} = 3 	imes 34 \ \mathring A = 102 \ \mathring A$.Therefore,the correct option is $C$.
