What is the approximate rate of addition of nucleotides to a strand of DNA during DNA replication in eukaryotes?

Eukaryotic cells have multiple points of origin, and use unidirectional replication within the nucleus of the cell.

What is the approximate size of the human genome in terms of base pairs?

The total length of the human genome is over 3 billion base pairs.
The genome is organized into 22 paired chromosomes, termed autosomes, plus the 23rd pair of sex chromosomes (XX) in the female, and (XY) in the male.

Which enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides to a strand of DNA during DNA replication?

One of the key molecules in DNA replication is the enzyme DNA polymerase.
DNA polymerases are responsible for synthesizing DNA.
they add nucleotides one by one to the growing DNA chain, incorporating only those that are complementary to the template.

please do thumbsup if you like the answer.

thank you

A single strand of DNA, 24 nucleotides long, with the sequence 5'-TTTCCCgggAAAgggTTTAAAggg-3' is in a test tube. (Note that G's are shown in lowercase, so that your eye can better distinguish them from C's) Other than the appropriate buffer solution, what else needs to go in the test tube to so that we end up with a piece of double stranded DNA, 24 base pairs long, with the above sequence comprising one of the two strands?

What is DNA? What is an easy way to remember what the four nucleotides are in DNA, which are purines and which are pyrimidines, what nucleotides are single versus double ringed structures, and why certain nucleotides complement one another? If an organism developed a mutation in the gene that codes for helicase, how would it affect cell division? Why did DNA evolve for genetic storage if RNA preceded it?
