    Nature’s machinery for copying DNA is called polymerase. What is the error rate of polymerase? How does this compare to the length of the human genome. How does biology deal with that discrepancy? The error rate is the 1:10^6, for the other hand the size of the human genome, which is approximately 3 × 10⁹ base pairs. If DNA polymerase functioned only at its intrinsic error rate, replication would introduce an extremely high number like would result in about 300 errors every time the genome is copied a lot mutation and problems, making genomic stability impossible.

  • Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices

    Name of the proyect: Fungi Biodyes The project I am interested in working on focuses on the textile industry, which is responsible for 20% of global industrial water pollution, with approximately 200,000 tons of dyes lost annually in effluents during dyeing processes. More than 8,000 synthetic chemicals are used in textile dyeing, many of which are toxic and non-biodegradable. (Dutta, 2024)
