The total length of DNA in the haploid genome is approximately 3 x 109 base pairs.

a. Given that the distance between each base pair is 0.34 nm, what is the total length of DNA (in meters) in a diploid human cell?

For this is got 2.04 m

b. It is estimated that the human genome contains 25,000 genes and the average length of the coding sequence of a gene is 3,000 base pairs. Using these numbers, determine what percentage of the genome is in genes.
