Molecular Basis Of Inheritance Question 117

Question: DNA polymerisation rate of DNA polymerase is:

Options:

A) $ 3.9\times 10^{7}bp $

B) 2000 $ bp/s $

C) $ 4.6\times 10^{6}bp $

D) 5000 $ bp/s $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] 2000 base pair per second.

DNA replication is rapid.

The replication of DNA of E.

col with $ 4.6\times 10^{6} $ bp requires 19 minutes.

On an average rate of polymerisation of bases is 2000 bp per second in each direction.
