Question
Chapter 28, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To devise an experiment to demonstrate the displacement of DNA polymerase III by DNA polymerase IV.
Concept introduction:
DNA or Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule made of two chains which coil around one another. These form a double helix which carry instructions genetical in nature like related to reproduction, growth, development, functioning of the living organisms.

Please help with 2a)
2a) There are two different DNA polymerase enzymes, DNA Polymerase I and DNA PolymeraseIII, that are active during prokaryotic DNA replication. Suppose you generated a mutant E. colistrain in which DNA Polymerase III was inactivated (all its enzymatic activities were non-functional) - assuming that all the other enzymes involved in replication remained fullyfunctional, how would DNA replication in these mutant cells without DNA Pol III differ fromDNA replication in normal E. coli? Briefly explain why you would expect to see thatchange/those changes in DNA replication in the mutant cells.
Can you help find the true statement of this problem?
Explain well please, asap

- Human Genome Replication Rate Assume DNA replication proceeds at a rate of 100 base pairs per second in human cells and origins of replication occur every 300 kbp. Assume also that human DNA polymerases are highly processive and only two molecules of DNA polymerase arc needed per replication fork. How long would it take to replicate the entire diploid human genome? How many molecules of DNA polymerase does each cell need to carry out this task?arrow_forwardDuring agarose gel electrophoresis, why does DNA move through the gel when electric current is applied? because DNA is negatively charged because a charged chemical from the loading buffer is bound to the DNA because DNA is positively charged because DNA absorbs electricityarrow_forwardWhich statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 The different cells in your body rarely havegenomes with the identical nucleotide sequence.2 In E. coli, where the replication fork travels at 500nucleotide pairs per second, the DNA ahead of the fork—in the absence of topoisomerase—would have to rotate atnearly 3000 revolutions per minute.3 In a replication bubble, the same parental DNAstrand serves as the template strand for leading-strandsynthesis in one replication fork and as the template forlagging-strand synthesis in the other fork.4 When bidirectional replication forks from adja-cent origins meet, a leading strand always runs into a lag-ging strand.5 DNA repair mechanisms all depend on the exis-tence of two copies of the genetic information, one in eachof the two homologous chromosomesarrow_forward
