Darya Meshalkina

Hi, Aishwarya. To get approximate meaning you'll need to remember, that every base pair weights approximately 660 Da. So, if you multiply 5.7 thousands base pairs on 660 Da, you'll get the approximate answer, that is applicable in most cases.

Shiva Kumar

Kindly check wid d attached file

Katie A Burnette

MW of a double-stranded DNA molecule = (# of base pairs) X (650 daltons/base pair)

This will give you the weight of a SINGLE DNA molecule of a specific size. it does NOT account for the number of DNA molecules in a solution.
