In this question, size of ecoli genome is 4 .7 multiplied 10 to the power 6 base pair.
00:09
The replication is given to us as it is bidirectional replication.
00:16
That is another thing given to us.
00:18
And the rate of replication is also given to us as thousand base pair per second are replicated.
00:26
Now we have to calculate the replication time.
00:31
So total time taken by one e.
00:33
Coli genome to get replicated.
00:36
And time it has to be mentioned in minutes.
00:40
So what do we mean by bi -directional replication is that there are two replication fork.
00:46
Now as the number of replication forks increase in any given genome, replication time gets relatively shorter and shorter with activation.
00:57
Of each successive replication fork but equalize still even after having two replication fork it only has one ory point or one origin of replication from this origin of replication now that is one thing that we need to keep in mind and another thing is that the genome is circular in nature so let's say if this is equalized genome and this point serves as the ory point so there will be two replication fork let's say r1 here and r1 in the side both will move in the opposite direction...
