The total length of the human genome is over 3 billion base pairs. The genome is organized into 22 paired chromosomes, plus the X chromosome (one in males, two in females) and, in males only, one Y chromosome. These are all large linear DNA molecules contained within the cell nucleus.
The human genome comprises the information contained in one set of human chromosomes which themselves contain about 3 billion base pairs (bp) of DNA in 46 chromosomes (22 autosome pairs + 2 sex chromosomes). That is the equivalent of nearly 70 trips from the earth to the sun and back. 2.0 Ã 1013 meters = 133.691627 astronomical units. 133.691627 / 2 = 66.8458135 round trips to the sun. On the average, a single human chromosome consists of DNA Molecule that is almost 5 centimeters.
