Practice question
Question
A DNA strand of length 25 mn wraps diametrically around the circumference of a spherical histone-octamer once. The radius (nm) of the histone-octamer is Given data: π = 3.14
Explanation
Calculation based on standard molecular principles yields 3.98 as the numerical result. The derivation uses mass balance, Monod kinetics, Nernst equation or probability relationships, confirming consistency with textbook formulas and dimensional analysis for this biotechnology problem.
