Question

If the entire genome of certain living organism consists of 2 x 108-bp. If replication at a single replication fork occurs at the rate of 25-bp/sec. Calculate the minimum time required to replicate the total genome of this organism if replication is initiated

Answer 1

Answer:

An average-sized human chromosome contains a single linear DNA molecule of about 150 million nucleotide pairs. To replicate such a DNA molecule from end to end with a single replication fork moving at a rate of 50 nucleotides per second would require 0.02 × 150 × 106 = 3.0 × 106 seconds (about 800 hours).
