00:01 So a bacterium synthesizes dna at replication fork at a rate of 1500 nucleotide per second.
00:19 And if the bacterium complete replicates a circular chromosome by theta replication in 20 minutes, how many base pair of dna will its chromosome contain? so we have a circular dna and it has a single origin.
00:48 So this is the origin of replication.
00:51 So you have two replication fork.
00:53 One move this way and the other move this way.
00:56 And they will eventually meet up on the other side.
00:58 So this means that you have two replication fork work at the same time.
01:03 Each replication fork will finish half of the chromosome.
01:06 Now let's take a look...
