Use the following to answer questions
The nuclear genome of a single human cell (i.e., the entire diploid complement) contains about 6.6 billion (6.6 × 109) base pairs of DNA. If synthesis at each replication fork occurs at an average rate of 50 nucleotides per second, all the DNA is replicated in 5 minutes. Assume that replication is initiated simultaneously at all origins.

A) 220,000
