Show transcribed image text Calculate the weight in grams of a double-stranded DNA molecule stretching from the Earth to the Moon (320,000 km). DNA double helix weighs about 10^-18 g per 1000 nucleotide pairs (base pairs); each base pair extends 0.34 nm. (please keep in mind: your body contains about 0.5 g of DNA).
