Vedclass · Answer

(A) The $DNA$ double helix structure,as proposed by Watson and Crick,consists of a repeating unit called a pitch or a full turn.Each full turn of the $DNA$ helix consists of $10$ base pairs.The distance between two adjacent base pairs is $3.4\ \mathring{A}$ $(0.34\ nm)$.Therefore,the length of one full turn is $10 	imes 3.4\ \mathring{A} = 34\ \mathring{A}$ (or $3.4\ nm$).
