The diameter of the alpha helix structure of DNA is 2nm, the diameter after having wrapped around the first histone is 11nm. That string wraps around another histone forming a 30nm chain, and so forth until you reach the chromasomal structure of roughly 700nm.

What is the geometry of DNA molecule?
Double Helix
Which object has the same shape as a DNA moleclue?
Probably another DNA molecule. But even then there will be monior differences. So I suggest there is nothing that is the same shape.
What is the difference between a spiral and a helix?
"Spiral" is a general term describing a circular pathway in space. Without getting into mathematical formulas to describe the different types of spirals suffice it to say that, at the high school level, a spiral, as in the case of a whirlpool, can be seen to have a decreasing diameter along the medial axis of the spiral. In contrast, the diameter of a helix, such as a DNA molecule, is uniformly constant. Wrap a wire around a cone and then remove the cone; the shape of the wire is representative of a spiral. Wrap a wire around a cylinder and then remove the cylinder; the shape of the wire is representative of a helix. Pakrutoy
How do you diameter of a circle?
You do a diameter circle!!
What part of a diameter is a radius?
It is half of the diameter or radius = diameter/2
What is the thickness of DNA molecule?
The diameter of a DNA molecule is approximately 2 nanometers, while the distance between base pairs along the DNA molecule is approximately 0.34 nanometers. Therefore, the thickness of a DNA molecule is very small, on the order of a few nanometers.
Does a molecule have DNA?
DNA is a molecule so no.
Are mitochondria smaller than DNA?
Yes, mitochondria are typically smaller than DNA. Mitochondria are organelles found in cells that produce energy, while DNA is the genetic material that carries instructions for the cell's functions. Mitochondria are visible under a microscope, whereas DNA is much smaller and contained within the cell's nucleus.
What is the diameter of creatinine molecule?
The diameter of a creatinine molecule is approximately 0.7 nanometers.
What is the diameter of hemoglobin?
The diameter of a hemoglobin molecule is approximately 5.5 nanometers.
Shape of DNA molecule?
The shape of a DNA Molecule is a Double Helix
How long is a DNA molecule?
The length of a DNA molecule can vary depending on the organism. For example, the human genome is composed of approximately 3 billion base pairs, which, if stretched out end to end, would be about 6 feet long.
What is the diameter of sulphur molecule?
The diameter of a sulfur molecule is approximately 1.8 – 2.0 angstroms.
What is the molecule that's responsible for unity and diversity of life?
DNA is the molecule that is responsible for unity and diversity of life .
State why DNA replicates.?
DNA replicates so that it can make an exact copy of the DNA molecule.
Is the B subunit of the hemoglobin A molecule a complete DNA molecule?
B-subunit of the hemoglobin A molecule is not a complete DNA molecule. It contains 4 subunits
When one dna molecule replicated the result is two dna molecules what is true of the second dna molecule?
The second DNA molecule is identical to the original DNA molecule as a result of semi-conservative replication, where each new DNA strand contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. This process ensures genetic continuity and stability in DNA replication.
