Question
One turn of the helix in a B-form DNA is approximately
Options
A.0.34 nm
B.3.4 nm
C.2 nm
D.20 nm
Solution
B-DNA is elical structure with 20 
diameter and the distance between the two base pairs is 3.4 and there are 10 base pairs in each turn or pitch (one round). Hence, one turn of or 3.4 nm (10 = 1.0 nm).
