You are studying a new virus with a DNA genome of 12 Kb. It can synthesize DNA at a rate of 400 nucleotides per second. If the virus uses theta replication, how long will it take to replicate its genome

15 seconds

Explanation:

Theta replication of Human DNA is bidirectional

The DNA genome = 12kb = 12000 b

for Theta replication of Human DNA  800 nucleotide are added every second

therefore for a DNA with 12000 genome it will take

= 12000/800 = 15 seconds to replicate its genome of 12kb(12000 b)

note : A Theta structure is an intermediate structure formed during the replication of a circular DNA molecule

whats the answer to your question?

bacteria could be both, harmful and to us. harmful bacteria could make us sick and probably even by getting the chances of getting a disease, but good bacteria fight it off with your immune system. there is always bacteria everywhere we go. we need to make sure to wash our hands after using the restroom, before eating, after eating, after petting an animal too. so you see, bacteria is everywhere and is harmful or . i hope this . : ) : ) : )
