Assuming DNA polymerization by each polymerase in the DNA Pol III holoenzyme proceeds at a rate of 1000 nucleotides per second, how long would anormal E.coli cell take to replicate the entire E .coli chromosome? Under optimal condition, E.coli cells divide every 20minutes. How many replication forks will be present in each E.coli to sustain such a rate of division?
