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
Are mitochondria smaller than DNA?
mitochondria is part of a cell or inside of it so, yes, it is obviously smaller
Does a molecule have DNA?
DNA is a molecule so no.
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not a characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule?
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule can replicate itself.
How long is a DNA molecule?
A DNA molecule has a width of about 2.5 nanometers. The length of the molecules however vary is size. Human DNA is 67,000 nm in length. Other organisms have different DNA lengths.
Is a DNA strand the same as a DNA molecule?
The DNA molecule is composed of two DNA strands.
What is the thickness of DNA molecule?
a DNA molecule is 2 nm in thickness.
Shape of DNA molecule?
The shape of a DNA Molecule is a Double Helix
How is an extracted DNA inserted into a new molecule?
DNA can be placed into to an egg but not into a molecule.
How many DNA molecule in a chromatid?
Each chromosome is originally made of one DNA molecule.
When one dna molecule replicated the result is two dna molecules what is true of the second dna molecule?
DNA actually has 3 forms. A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA. B-DNA is the kind you are most familiar with and present in most organisms. A-DNA can be found in dehydrated samples while Z-DNA is rare and mostly synthesized in the lab.
What is the master molecule in a cell?
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
