Because human DNA is so very long (with up to 80 million base pairs in a chromosome) it unzips at multiple places along its length so that the replication process is going on simultaneously and more accurately.
Answer: 5
Explanation:
Since 1 out of 200 people carry the defective gene that causes inherited colon cancer.
In a sample of 1000 individuals, we say
1 = 200
y = 1000
cross multiply
y x 200 = 1000 x 1
200y = 1000
y = 1000/200
y = 5
Thus, in a sample of 1000 individuals, approximately 5 will be carriers
