DNA maths

Question 1

Replication of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is different from that of nuclear DNA.

The replication of the second strand of mtDNA only starts after two-thirds of the first strand of mtDNA has been copied.

A piece of mtDNA is 16 500 base pairs long and is replicated at a rate of 50 nucleotides per second.

Tick (✓) the box that shows how long it would take to copy this mtDNA.
