If the volume of DNA is 6.4 x 10⁹nm³and the volume of the nucleus is 5.23 x 10¹¹ nm³ what percentage does this molecule occupy the given space?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Calculate the volume of the DNA molecule in nm^3:
6.4 x 10^19 nm^3

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the nucleus in nm^3:
5.23 x 10^11 nm^3

Step 3: Calculate the percentage of the nucleus that is occupied by the DNA:
(DNA volume/nucleus volume) x 100%
= (6.4 x 10^19/5.23 x 10^11) x 100%
≈ 1.22%

Therefore, the correct answer is E) ≈1.22%.
