The average human cell nucleus has 3.6 picograms (10-12 grams) of DNA. What is the mass of DNA (in picograms) in a nucleus in metaphase I?
Homework Answers
Answer
The average human cells have 3.6 picograms of DNA So in metaphase I DNA content would be doubled in S phase cycle where DNA duplication happens. So the amount of DNA in metaphase I would be 3.6 X2= 7.2 picograms.

One copy of the human nuclear genome (i.e., the amount in a gamete’s nucleus) weighs approximately 3.5 picograms. Calculate the mass of nuclear DNA (in picograms) found in a human nucleus: a) during G1 ? b) during G2? c) after mitotic telophase and cytokinesis? d) after meiosis I? e) after telophase and cytokinesis of meiosis II during oogenesis?

Question 11 5 pts Suppose that a cell in G1 contains 14 picograms (pg) of DNA. How many picograms would you expect to find in this same cell during G22 Note that a picogram (pg) is a measured quantity/mass. Think about how the amount of DNA changes as the cell progresses from G1 to G2. Hint: • Cell Cycle and Interchase e video • Textbook chapter 10 section 10.2

The human blood cell is an enucleated (no nucleus) and flattened cell that lacks intracellular organelles but provides essential functions such as oxygen transport. In this cell, the ratio for proteins mass to phospholipids is 2: Assuming that the mass of the average membrane protein is 50 kilodalton compared to phospholipids (mass= 1000 daltons), approx. how many lipid molecules (i.e. phospholipids + cholesterol) are present for each protein molecule? The answer key says: 100. Please explain and show work.

The human diploid genome contains 6.4x109 bp. For B-form DNA, assume an average distance of 0.34nm per base pair along the DNA molecule and an average diameter of a DNA molecule to be 2.4nm. Does the genome, in B-form, fit inside a nucleus (approximate a sphere of 6µm diameter)? If so, what fraction of the nucleus is taken up by DNA? If not, how many nuclei do you need to contain one diploid human genome?
