DNA
Question asked by: floresj17
Asked on: 20 Oct 2008
There are three strands.
The error is introduced, from what I understand of your wording, in the first replication. So you now have one with the error.
If two more copies of that are now created, then you have two new with errors and the original.
However without knowing the mechanism in place I can't be sure this is the right answer, for instance what form of replication are we talking about - is it 1:1 or 2:1 and are originals destroyed or preserved in the replication? Basically pump in the numbers and do the math.
