A rapidly growing bacterial species such as E. coli exhibits a typical phase of growth cycle in liquid nutrient broth. If a bacterial culture has starting density 1000 cells/ml in log phase and after four hours cell density is 4000 cells/ml.  What is specific growth rate per hour?

If natural selection in a particular environment favored genetic systems that permitted the production of daughter ʺcellsʺ that were genetically dissimilar from the mother ʺcells,ʺ then one should expect selection for

I. polynucleotide polymerase with low mismatch error rates.

II. polynucleotide polymerases without proofreading capability.

III. batteries of efficient polynucleotide repair enzymes.

IV. polynucleotide polymerases with proofreading capability.

V. polynucleotide polymerases with high mismatch error rates.
