The mean diameter of the DNA double helix is :
20 angstrom
3.4 angstrom
4.5 angstrom
10 angstrom
As discussed in Salient Features of Double-Helix Structure of DNA -The diameter of the DNA helix is 2 nm and the vertical rise per base pair is 0.34 nm. A DNA molecule is composed of two unbranched polynucleotide chains (strands) that wind about each other into a structure called a double helix.
Hence, the correct option is (a).
