Report Abuse. There are about 25,000 base pairs in one human DNA molecule (one double-helix), however some animals have DNA that is 2,000,000 base pairs long. One DNA molecule is made up of two polynucleotide strands that form a double-helix using hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases. A chromosome is one DNA molecule.
DNA is a nucleic acid; alongside proteins and carbohydrates, nucleic acids compose the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Most DNA molecules consist of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix.ccording to base pairing rules (A with T, and C with G), hydrogen bonds bind the nitrogenous bases of the two separate polynucleotide strands to make double-stranded DNA. The total amount of related DNA base pairs on Earth is estimated at 5.0 x 10 37, and weighs 50 billion tonnes.
