The diameter of a metaphase chromosome is about 1400 nm, whereas that of the DNA double helix is 2 nm. This means that DNA is coiled into a structure with a diameter 700 times larger than itself. The diameter of a human hair is about 80 micrometers (0.003 inch). If a human hair were coiled into a structure with a diameter 700 times larger than itself, the diameter of the coiled human hair would approximate that of a: telephone pole (about 18 inches). trash can (about 36 inches). spaghetti noodle (about 0.1 inch). soda can (about 2 inches). pencil (about 0.3 inch).

The diameter of the coiled human hair structure is approximately the same as that of a Soda can which has a diameter of about 2 inches

Explanation:

Given that the diameter of the human hair is about 0.003 inches

Assuming the human hair is then coiled into a structure that has a diameter 700 times that of itself, the new diameter will be equal to 700 * 0.003 inches = 2.100 inches

Comparing the given data will the result, it can be seen that the diameter of the coiled human hair structure is approximately the same as that of a soda can which has a diameter of about 2 inches.

The results of the above shows how impressive the packaging of DNA is in the chromosomes. The diameter of a human hair is about 57 times greater than that of a metaphase chromosome.

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
