Imagine that dna replication begins in an escherichia coli (e. coli) bacterium at a single origin and that dna polymerase synthe
sizes one strand of dna at a rate of 60000 bases per minute in escherichia coli (e. coli) bacteria and that e. coli replicate every 40 minutes. calculate the total number of nucleotides in the bacterial chromosome of
e. coli.
