the Mars bacteria replicate their DNA. Based on the following equilibrium density gradient centrifugation
results, what type of replication would you propose for these new bacteria?

- A friend asks for help understanding replication for the next biology test. (S)he draws a replication bubble for a DNA molecule being replicated. The origin of replication is shown (0) and newly replicated DNA is shown as gray. Small gray arrows represent okazaki fragments. Solid gray lines represent leading strand. Draw a corrected version of a replication bubble below.arrow_forwardThe leading and lagging strands of replicating DNA are growing in opposite directions; however, the extension of any DNA strand is always Question 10 options: a) 5' to 3'. b) 3' to 5'. c) either 5' to 3' or 3' to 5' depending on the direction of the replication fork. d) alternating between 5' to 3' and 3' to 5'. e) none of the above.arrow_forwardHuman cells have approximatelly 6,000,000,000 base pairs.
