The horizontal axis of the cladogram depicted below is a timeline that extends from 100,000 years ago to the present; the vertical axis represents nothing in particular. The labeled branch points on the tree (V-Z) represent various common ancestors. Let's say that only since 50,000 years ago has there been enough variation between the lineages depicted here to separate them into distinct species, and only the tips of the lineages on this tree represent distinct species.
In Darwin's tree of life, each fork in the tree represents ________.

State whether the following statements is true/false regarding DNA replication.
1. In E. coli replication begins at the origin of replication and proceeds in one direction until the entire circular DNA molecule has been copied.
2. The chromosome of the fruit fly (D. melanogaster) is about twice as large as the E. coli chromosome.
3. Prokaryotic DNA replication occurs in two steps. First, ATP provides a phosphate to the growing DNA chain. This is followed by addition of a nucleoside.
4. DNA polymerase III is the largest DNA polymerase in E. coli.
5. The β subunits of E. coli DNA polymerase form a sliding clamp that surrounds the DNA strands at the replication fork.
