Next, before proceeding to problems 6-8, figure out the following terms: • replication fork • replicon • origin of replication The rest is simple math (almost like: Suppose one painter can paint the entire house in 7 hours. How many painters would it take to paint 10 houses in 24 hours?) 9. A particularly short eukaryotic chromosome has a total of 6 x 10° bp and is replicated in 3 minutes. Assuming all origins initiate at the same time, and that all replication forks move at a rate of 10* bp per minute, approximately how many: a) replication forks should be present in this chromosome? b) origins should be present in this chromosome?

Considering DNA sequencing by the Sanger method. It is correct to say that: * A)In the traditional method, radioactively “labeled” primers are used, allowing their visualization in autoradiography. B)In the automated method, a single reaction is performed containing the four “labeled” dideoxynucleotides, each with a different fluorophore. C)In both traditional and automated methods, the fragments are resolved and interpreted according to their ionization state. D)In the automated method, di-deoxynucleotides “labeled” with the same fluorophore are used, thus allowing their interpretation based on graphs of fluorescence emission. E)Sequencing reactions can use mRNA molecules, as long as they have a polyA tail.
