Respuesta :

Answer:

Calculate the distance between [tex]4.5\times 10^{9}[/tex]  two  consecutive rungs.

D= ( [tex]4.5\times 10^{9}[/tex]-1) inch= 4

Explanation:

The number of base pairs are 4.5 billion = ,

So, the number of rungs with base pairs are ,

The distance between two rungs is 1 inch.

Calculation '

Calculate the distance between   consecutive rungs.

D= ( -1) inch= 4
