So…just how much DNA
is in your cells?
Each
cell in your body contains about 1.7 meters of DNA.
If
a cell was enlarged to the size
of an aspirin pill, the DNA in that cell would be 10,000
meters long. That’s as long as 109 football fields!
If
you laid the DNA from all your cells end-to-end, the strands would stretch from the Earth to the Moon about 6,000 times!
