Question

A transposon inserts into a single origin of replication (ori) in a eukaryotic cell and prevents helicase from binding the ori. How does this affect replication at this particular ori and how is cell division affected

Answer 1

Answer -

one of the steps generates a double-strand break, which triggers DNA repair. A transposon inserts into a single origin of replication (ori) in a eukaryotic cell. The transposon inserts at the position where helicase binds, preventing helicase from binding the ori. Topoisomerase, however, binds normally
