A circular molecule of DNA contains 1 million base pairs. If the DNA synthesis at a replication fork occurs at a rate of 100,000

nucleotides per minute, how much time will theta replication require to completely replicate the molecule, assuming that theta replication is bidirectional?

Answer:

<h2>5 minutes </h2>

Explanation:

1. In bidirectional replication;  there are two replication forks, and each proceeding at a rate of 100,000 (as given in the question) nucleotides per minute.  

2. So, by  the given rate of replication, we can calculate that, it would require 5 minutes for the circular DNA molecule to be replicated by bidirectional replication because each fork synthesize  500,000 nucleotides in 5 minutes ( 100,000 per minute) ( as given, in 5 minutes × 100,000 nucleotides per minute= 500,000 and by 2 forks= 1,000,000) within the time period.

What is the name of the theoretical maximum rate of population growth.A. SpeculativeB. LogisticC. FactorialD. Exponential
Sati [7]

Answer: D. Exponential

Explanation:

The exponential growth occurs when the resources are unlimited to the population of the species. The population grows rapidly at a constant rate. Thus the population size increases over concerned period of time. When the resources become limited the growth collapses this is called as logistic growth.

The exponential growth can be shown by the J-shaped curve.
