Textbook Question
Chapter 13.3, Problem 1RIA
Retrieve, Infer, Apply
How many replicons do typical bacterial cells have (i.e., those having a single chromosome)? How many replication forks are used to replicate a circular chromosome? Is a primosome part of the replisome, or is the replisome part of the primosome? What is the function of each?
