Answer:
45200 nucleotide
Explanation:
Given that
Rate at which polymerase synthesizes DNA = 1130 based per minutes
Time taken for bacteria to replicate their chromosomes = 40 minutes
Therefore
Total number of nucleotide in bacterial chromosome = Time taken for bacterial to replicate their chromosomes × rate at which polymerase synthesizes DNA
= 1130 × 40
= 45200 nucleotides
Replication is the process by which DNA produces a copy of itself. The total number of nucleotides in the bacterial chromosome is 45,200 nucleotides.
Given here,
Rate of DNA synthesis = 1130 bases/ minute
bacterial replication time = 40 minutes
So,
Total number of nucleotides in bacteria = bacterial to replication time × rate of DNA synthesis
= 1130 × 40
= 45200 nucleotide
Therefore, the total number of nucleotides in the bacterial chromosome is 45,200 nucleotides.
