Assume that a viral DNA molecule is a 50-μm-long circular strand with a uniform 20-Å diameter. If this molecule is contained in a viral head that is a 0.08-mm-diameter sphere, will the DNA molecule fit into the viral head, assuming complete flexibility of the molecule? Justify your answer mathematically.
