In the prokaryotic bacterium E. coli, replication can occur at a rate of 1,000 nucleotides per second. In comparison, eukaryotic human DNA replicates at a rate of 50 nucleotides per second. In both cases, replication occurs so quickly because multiple polymerases can synthesize two new strands at the same time by using each unwound strand from the original DNA double helix as a template.
How many nucleotides make up a codon? A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4 Explanation: Book, pages 282-283; lecture 10/31. A codon is found on a mRNA and is the genetic code for translation and ribosomes to make proteins. Historically, it was not known how many nucleotides needed to make up a codon, but simple math suggested that 3 nucleotides (4 (the number of nucleotides A, G, C and U) was enough when you took the nucleotide and cubed the number â you get 64.
