Does anybody know how fast genetic information may be transcribed and then
translated, in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
A related question is how much time needs to elapse from a mutation to a
phenotype?
I guess this will depend on the type of mutation - most would require a DNA
replication step - how fast is that?
Thanks
