The solution for question 38 in BR bio part 2, ch 9 (pg 341) says DNA is replicated at 1,666 bp / sec. However there are two replication forks, so each fork replicates 833 bp / sec. The question asks how many nucleotides are added at each fork in one second. Since there are 2 nucleotides in a base pair, the answer shoud be 1,666 nucleotides per second. Instead the answer is 833. How can this be?
