Answer:
The amount of water that evaporates from earth is roughly equal to the amount that falls as precipitation.
Explanation:
In the hydrological cycle, evaporation consists of the conversion of liquid water into water vapor, which reaches the atmosphere. Once the water vapor condenses produces precipitation in the form of rain, snow or hail.
<u>On the earth the amount of water that evaporates is proportional to the water that falls as precipitation</u>. The mass of ocean water is substantially greater than the amount of land, so variations in the proportion of evaporated water and precipitation occur in the hydrological cycle:
- <em>In the oceans, evaporation is greater than the precipitation that occurs.
</em>
- <em>On the continents - firm land - evaporation is less than precipitation.
</em>
This produces a certain grade of compensation in which, globally, the amount of water that evaporates from the earth is roughly equal to the amount that falls as precipitation.

Solution:
4.2 x 10^6 bp/10^3 bp/seconds = 4.2 + 103 s which is 4200 seconds and equivalents to 70 minutes
In addition, assuming a pause of 2 seconds for re initiating after completing every okazaki fragment and assuming the okazaki fragments average 1000 nucleotide long.
4.2 x 10^6 bp/10^3 bp = 4200 okazaki fragments 4200 * 2 seconds = 8400 seconds which is 140 minutes or 2 hours 20 minutes of pauses alone.
Therefore, overall time would be pauses plus the 70 minutes so total time of 210 minutes. Assuming that the replisome completely disassociates from the DNA after every okazaki fragment and must spend one-minute rebinding.
4200 okazaki fragments. 60 seconds rebinding time per fragment: 4200 x 1 minute = 4200 minutes rebinding time plus 70 minutes for actual replication. 4200 minutes is 70 hours which is almost 3 days.
The word in the blank should be 'segregation' :)
