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.

Which factor does not greatly influence the rate of
jonny [76]

Answer:

a. transcription

Explanation:

<em>Sugar transport in phloem is referred to as pressure flow and it involves the movement of sugar through the phloem vascular tissue from the regions where sugar is synthesized (by photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant's body that require sugar.</em>

The parts of plants where sugar is synthesized (usually the leaf) is known as sugar source while the parts where they are transported is referred to as the source. Sources are usually areas of of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure while sinks are usually areas of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure.

<em>Hence, sugar transport in the phloem can be said to be influenced by the rate of sugar production at the source (rate of photosynthesis), turgor pressure as well as sugar concentration in sinks and sources.</em>

The only option that has no known effect on sugar transport in the phloem is transcription.

The correct option is a.

const2013 [10]

Answer: A, the sun creates it's own light.

Explanation: <em>The moon can't create it's own light, so the sun shines on the moon and it </em><em>reflects</em><em>, or "bounces" off.  The sun is able to produce it's light by </em><em>fusion,</em><em> which also creates heat. </em>
