In DNA replication, each base pair requires one deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (dNTP). This is because each base pair consists of two nucleotides, and each nucleotide requires one dNTP.

Therefore, to calculate the total number of dNTPs required to replicate a 10,000-base pair DNA molecule, we multiply the number of base pairs by 2 (since each base pair consists of two nucleotides).

Total number of dNTPs = 10,000 x 2
Total number of dNTPs = 20,000

Therefore, a total of 20,000 dNTPs are required to replicate a 10,000-base pair DNA molecule.
