Solution:
The distance between two consecutive base pairs - 0.34nm and
The total number of base pairs of DNA double helix in a typical mammalian cell - 6.6∗10 9 bp.
The length of the DNA would be - Total no. of base pairs ∗ distance between two consecutive base pairs.
Length - 6.6∗10 9×0.34 ∗10 −9

=> 2.24m
