    4.0 million

    Explanation:

    The average length of a base pair (bp) is 340 pm (340 * 10^-12 m)

    Length of DNA = Number of bp * length of each bp

    1.36 * 10^-3 m = bp * 340 * 10^-12 m

    bp = (1.36 * 10^ - 3) / (340 * 10^-12) = 4.0 * 10^6

    The DNA segment would contain 4.0 million bp.
