Answer:
5556
Explanation:
If a DNA polymerase synthesizes in average 50 nucleotides/second, that means that in three hours (10800 seconds) it synthesizes about 540000 nucleotides.
However, if the human genome is composed of 3000000000 (3 billion) base pairs (nucleotids), the minimum number of DNA polymerases (working in the same number of origins of replication) to finish the duplication of all the genome in three hours is 5555,5. (3000000000/540000). As we know there is no half polymerase, so we round to 5556.
5556 molecules of DNA polymerases acting on 5556 origins of replication are needed.
Cell division allows for the growing of new cells. With a unicellular organism, cell division would be the cell's way of reproducing or multiplying, in other words, surviving. Within a multicellular organism, cell division is the organism's way of replacing old, damaged, or dead cells. Within multicellular organisms, cell division also aids in growth.

Populations of organisms that have sigmoid growth curves
limited by the carrying capacity are called K-selected.
Species are divided into two selected species, R-selected
species and K-selected species. K-selected
species are <span>also called K-strategist. These are the species whose populations vary at or near the <span>carrying capacity <span>(K) of the </span></span>environment<span> in which they live.</span></span>
