Answer 1

DNA replication

1. Eukaryotic DNA is replicated at a rate of 50 nucleotides per second.
2. In prokaryotes, DNA replication is possible at a rate of up to 1000 nucleotides per second.
3. Many DNA polymers bind new fibers to speed up the replication process.
4. It takes about an hour to complete the replication in human cells.
5. In E.coli it takes 18 minutes to complete the repetition.
