Is it true formation of multiple replication forks tends to slow down DNA replication?

No, the whole point in forming multiple replication forks is to reduce the time it takes to replicated DNA by replicating several sections of DNA at the same time, so that each polymerase enzyme has to copy less of the DNA. As a result replication finishes earlier than it would if one polymerase were to replicate the entire strand (as it would operate at the same speed - about 1000 base pairs per second).
The human genome has about 20,000 origins for replication, which will produce 20,000 replication forks. It is necessary to have this many because the human genome is so large (3.3 billion base pairs). Without 20,000 origins, DNA replication would take close to 20,000 times longer.

Is the formation of fossils a common event?
No. For fossil formation to take place a series of fortunate events must occur. If any part of the series is missing we will never see the fossil! In fact, fossilization is a fairly rare occurrence. Nature tends toward recycling. That includes just about everything from plants and animals to rocks and minerals.
Diffusion is important in body fluids because it tends to?
It tends to eliminate local concentration gradients.
Lava that is low in silica tends to?
Lava that is low in silica tends to have lighter rocks come out of it.

it melting point tends to be higher
Which is the most abundant in magma and has the greatest effect on its characteristics?
Felsic magma tends to be thick and viscous, while mafic magma tends to be fluid.
How do you prevent replication of HIV?
hiv replication can only be reduced with a common therapy known as HAART. highyly active antiretroviral therapy.. this is a therapy that tends to slow down the replication of hiv. note: it can be reduced or stopped from replicating but it is not definitely prevented because it tends to fight the CD4 cells
Magnetic field in multiple media?
The magnetic field in multiple media tends to increase as new media are added.
How is rouleaux formation differentiated from true agglutination?
Autoagglutination should also be distinguished from "Rouleaux formation" wherein normal blood tends to form stacks on keeping, which disperses on dilution with normal saline.
Average gestation for maiden mare?
Closer to 12 months. It tends to be longer than that of a mare who has been bred multiple times.
What is a pivot in handball?
This player tends to intermingle with the defense, setting picks and attempting to disrupt the defense formation. Mostly stay close to the line in front of the goalie zone.
What is the formula to find the least common multiple of first n natural numbers?
There is no exact formula. To find the sequence of LCMs see http://oeis.org/A003418/list. LCM(1, 2, 3, ..., n) tends to en as n tends to infinity. Equivalently, ln[LCM(1, 2, 3, ..., n)] tends to n or ln[LCM(1, 2, 3, ..., n)] / n tends to 1 as n tends to infinity.
What makes brown color?
brown is a fusion of multiple colors arbitrarily mashed together, thats why it tends to be ugly and that is also why anus spooge is brown.
How does latitude and longitude have an influence on climate?
Latitude and longitude have an influence of climate because of wind direction. Longitudinal climates differ because land formation in this direction tends to be more mountainous.
How would you distinguish peat from mudstone with fossil plant fragments?
Peat once dried becomes very easy to burn while mudstone once dries turns to a hard stone and is not flammable even with plant fragments in it. Also peat tends to have layers to its formation while mudstone is very random in its formation.

Where on a aluminium alloy mountain bike would you find steel?
In several places actually. Fasteners - screws, nuts and bolts - are usually steel. Wheel axles, freewheel mechanisms, brake parts tend to be steel. Aluminium forks may have steel steerers. Bearings tends to use steel.
What population group tends to get gallstones?
Scandinavians also have a higher than average incidence of this disease. Dietary fat and cholesterol are also implicated in their formation. Overweight women in their middle years constitute the vast majority of patients with gallstones in every group.
