3. The speed of DNA replication at a replication fork is about 100 nucleotides per second (on each strand) in human cells. What is the minimum number of origins of replication that a human cell must have in order to replicate its DNA once every 20 hours? Recall that a human cell contains two copies of the human genome, one inherited from the mother and one from the father each consisting of 3 x 10° base pairs
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
