E. coli that has only 4.6 × 106 bp (compare it with humans whose diploid content is 6.6 × 109 bp ), completes the process of replication within 18 minutes; that means the average rate of polymerization has to be approximately 2000 bp per second.

Q. E.coli has only $4.6 \times 1 0^{6}$ base pairs and completes the process of replication within $18$ minutes; then the average rate of polymerisation is approximately-

$2000$ base pairs/second

$3000$ base pairs/second

$4000$ base pairs/second

$1000$ base pairs/second

E. coli that has only $4.6 \times 1 0^{6} b p$ (compare it with humans whose diploid content is $6.6 \times 1 0^{9} b p$ ), completes the process of replication within 18 minutes; that means the average rate of polymerization has to be approximately 2000 bp per second.
