How big are human chromosomes?

0

Human chromosomes range in length from 51 million to 245 million base pairs. With few exceptions (e.g., red blood cells), each of the trillions of cells in the human body contains a complete set of chromosomes–the genome. If all the bases in the human genome were spread out 1 millimeter apart, they would extend from Memphis to Los Angeles.
