The gene that codes for human pancreatic amylase is 10.428 kilobases10.428\text{ kilobases}10.428 kilobases in length. The DNA double helix makes one complete turn every 10 base pairs10\text{ base pairs}10 base pairs. Every complete turn is 3.4 nm3.4\text{ nm}3.4 nm in length.
Use this information to calculate the length in micrometres (μm\mu\text{m}μm) of the amylase-coding gene. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
