DNA fun facts
• How long does it take one of your cells to completely copy its DNA?• 8 hours• In the human DNA code is made up of base pairs: A-T
and G-C on each side of the DNA strand. How many base pairs are in a DNA strand?• 3 billion• If you were to recite the order of the ATCGs in your
DNA starting tomorrow morning, at a rate of 100 nitrogen bases per minute, how long would it take you to recite one entire DNA strand if you didn’t stop to eat, drink, sleep or go to the bathroom, etc?• 57 years

DNA fun facts
• Autosomal cells have how many chromosomes?• 46• Sperm and egg have how many chromosomes?• 23• If you were to stretch out the DNA from your 46
chromosomes in just one cell and lay it end to end, how long would it be?• Over 2 yards• If the total DNA in one person were laid out in a
straight line, how long would it be?• 30 times the distance to the sun
