What is required for replication to initiate in DNA?

Options

  1. ADNA ligase
  2. BDNA-dependent DNA polymerases
  3. Corigin of replication
  4. Dnone of the above

Correct answer

C. origin of replication

Step-by-step solution

The DNA polymerases on their own cannot initiate the process of replication . Also the replication does not initiate randomly at any place in DNA. There is a definite region in E. coli DNA where the replication originates. Such regions are termed as origin of replication. It is because of the requirement of the origin of replication that a piece of DNA, if needed to be propagated during recombinant DNA procedures, requires a vector. The vectors provide the origin of replication. Further, not every detail of replica
