The diploid genome of human DNA is 6.6 x 109base pairs.Also aglycosidic bond is formed between C at 1stposition of sugar and N at 1stposition of pyrimidine or N at the 9thposition of purine. One base pair has 2 glycosidic bonds. So total number of glycosidic bond in diploid human cell are 2* 6.6 x 109 i.e. 2 option
