If a haploid genome contains 5000 origins of replication and
If a haploid genome contains 5000 origins of replication and 5 chromosomes, the diploid genome will contain:
___ DNA polymerase III
___ Replication licensing factors (RLF)
___ DNA gyrase
___ Telomeres
I believe there would be 10,000 ORIs and 10 chromosomes per diploid genome, which would mean there is:
40,000 DNA pol (at least four per ORI)
10,000 RLF (one per ORI)
20,000 DNA gyrase (two per ORI)
40 Telomeres (four per chromosome)
Solution
If a haploid genome contains 5000 origins of replication and 5 chromosomes, the diploid genome will contain:
10000___ DNA polymerase III
5000 RLF
_5000__ DNA gyrase
I believe there would be 10,000 ORIs and 10 chromosomes per diploid genome, which would mean there is:
10,000 RLF (one per ORI)
