5.Molecular Basis of Inheritance
easy
E. coli has only $4.6 \times 10^{6}$ base pairs and completes the process of replication within 18 minutes; then the average rate of polymerisation is approximately
A
$1000$ base pairs/second
B
$2000$ base pairs/second
C
$3000$ base pairs/second
D
$4000$ base pairs/second
(NEET-2020)
Solution
The average rate of polymerisation of $DNA$ in E.coli is $2000$ bp per second. It has only $4.6 \times 10^{6}$ bp and completes the process of replication within $18$ minutes
