A chromosome of 250 million base pairs takes a few hours to replicate, this is quite amazing and fast if you really think about it. Go here for more information: http://www.dnareplication.info/speedofdnareplication.php

Replication of DNA in a human cell typically takes around 8-10 hours to complete. This process involves multiple steps, including unwinding of the DNA double helix, synthesis of new DNA strands, and proofreading to correct errors. Variations in replication time can occur based on cell type, organism, and other factors.

In intrasite replication, a domain controller waits 15 seconds before it starts notifying its replication partners that it has updates. This time interval is known as the Replication Notify Interval.

No time is required -- they are fully mature and ready to divide immediately after separation if conditions are right.


Where does replication in DNA take place?

DNA replication takes place in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell (plant or animal cell or the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell (bacteria).


Does DNA replication start at only one place in the DNA?

What do you mean by one area? If by one area you mean does it start at one area then stop and continue on another area then no, DNA replication is continuous and when it takes place it is the most important thing going on in the cell. The cells resources are directed at this process * DNA replication means copying the entire DNA molecule, so it involves the entire molecule, but not all at the same time. In bacteria (prokaryotic cells) replication begins at one point in the molecule and continues all the way round the circular molecule.Beginning at just one place would take too long in eukaryotic cells; someone has calculated that our longest chromosomes would take about a fortnight to replicate, and we cannot wait that long! So replication begins at a number of sites along the length of the DNA molecule. At each replication site, as the DNA strands are separated there is a bulge in the molecule called a replication bubble. As replication proceeds these bubbles become longer, and eventually they merge into one another and the job is done.


Does DNA replication take place in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells?

No, DNA replication takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. The nucleus contains the necessary enzymes and machinery for DNA replication to occur accurately.
