E. coli has only 4.6 ×106 base pairs and completes the process of replication within 18 minutes; then the average rate of polymerization is approximately

a
1000 base pairs/second
b
2000 base pairs/second
c
3000 base pairs/second
d
4000 base pairs/second

detailed solution

Correct option is B

E. coli that has only 4.6 ×106 bp (compare it with humans whose diploid content is 6.6 × 109 bp), completes the process of replication within 18 minutes; that means the average rate of polymerization has to be approximately 2000 bp per second.
