Considering the average molecular mass of a base to be 500 Da, what is the molecular mass of a double stranded DNA of 10 base pairs ?(A)   500 Da(B)  5 kDa(C)  10 kDa(D)  1 kDa

Answer»

Correct option (C) 10 kDa

Explanation:

Molecular Mass of a base = 500 da

Total No. of bases = 10 bp

= 10 x 2 = 20 bases

Molecular mass of 20 bases

= 20 x 500 da

= 10000 dalton

= 10 kda
