Mutation rate • Low • E.Coli & human: 1 in 109 bases • Correction mechanism • Experiment measure of mutation rate • Many mutations are deleterious and eliminated by natural selection
Origin of DNA Replication • Bacterial Chromosomes Have a Single Origin of DNA Replication • Eucaryotic Chromosomes Contain Multiple Origins of Replication • Replication Origins in a Simple Eucaryote, the Budding Yeast is identified • The Mammalian DNA Sequences That Specify the Initiation of Replication Have Been Difficult to Identify
