MCQ

Question

If a 1000 kb fragment of DNA has 10 evenly spaced and symmetric replication origins and DNA polymerase moves at 1 kb per minute, how many minutes will it take to produce two daughter molecules ignoring the potential problem at the end of the linear piece of DNA? Assume that the 10 origins are evenly spaced from each other, none starting from the ends of the chromosome.

Explanation

This outcome reflects nucleic acid structure and recombination, where hairpin formation, Holliday junction resolution and translation control ensure fidelity. Option C captures this correctly because it matches molecular mechanisms of gene expression, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in molecular biology.
