What is the origin of replication?

Options

  1. AA specific DNA sequence responsible for replication
  2. BA specific DNA sequence responsible for initiating replication
  3. CA specific DNA sequence responsible for preserving genetic information
  4. DA specific DNA sequence responsible for multiplying alien DNA

Correct answer

B. A specific DNA sequence responsible for initiating replication

Step-by-step solution

In a chromosome there is a specific DNA sequence called the origin of replication, which is responsible for initiating replication . Therefore, for the multiplication of any alien piece of DNA in an organism it needs to be a part of a chromosome(s) which has a specific sequence known as ‘origin of replication’. Thus, an alien DNA is linked with the origin of replication, so that, this alien piece of DNA can replicate and multiply itself in the host organism. This can also be called as cloning or making multiple ide
