How many base pairs would a DNA segment of length 1.36 mm have?

The length of two base pairs = 0.34nm = 0.34 * 10^-9 m

We know that the total length of a double stranded DNA is calculated in the following way: Total number of base pairs x Distance between two base pairs.

Here we have, total length of the DNA segment= 1.36 mm or

1.36 * 10^-3 m

So, the number of base pairs that this DNA segment will have

= Total length of DNA segment / Distance between two base pairs

= (1.36 x 10^-3 ) / 0.34 x 10^-9 m

= 4 x 10⁶ base pairs

Therefore, the number of base pairs that a DNA segment of

length 1.36mm would have is 4x10⁶ base pairs.
