Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The time taken to fall ill in the provided scenario.

Introduction:

There are various factors that must be taken into consideration while calculating the microbial population in different conditions. Each type of species of the microorganism takes a different time in order to become double or produce offspring. The microorganisms undergo division through various processes such as binary fission, budding, and multiple fission.

In eukaryotes, the DNA replication rate is 50 nucleotides per second. How long would the replication of a chromosome of 150 million base pairs take if eukaryotic chromosomes were replicated like those of prokaryotes? Actually, eukaryotic replication takes only several hours. How do eukaryotes achieve this high rate?
Approximately how many high-energy bonds does DNA polymerase use to replicate a bacterial chromosome (ignoring helicase and other enzymes associated with the replication fork)? compared with its own dry weight of 10–12 g, how much glucose does a single bacterium need to provide enough energy to copy its DNA once?
Suppose that replication is initiated in a medium containing moderately radioactive tritiated thymine. After a few minutes of incubation, the bacteria are transferred to a medium containing highly radioactive tritiated thymidine. Sketch the autoradiographic pattern that would be seen for (a) undirectional replication and (b) bidirectional replication, each from a single origin.
