Imagine That the DNA Replication Error Rate for a Repair-Deficient

Multiple Choice

Imagine that the DNA replication error rate for a repair-deficient E. coli is 1 in 10 million. If the E. coli genome is 5 million nucleotide pairs, how often will the E. coli genome sustain a mutation in this strain, keeping in mind that both strands of a DNA molecule are replicated at once?

A) once every five cell divisions
B) once per cell division
C) twice per cell division
D) four times per cell division
E) once every ten cell divisions
