Do you know the likely fate of a piece of DNA, which is somehow
transferred into an alien organism? Most likely, this piece of DNA would
not be able to multiply itself in the progeny cells of the organism. But
when it gets integrated into the genome of the recipient, it may multiply
and be inherited along with the host DNA. This is because the alien piece
of DNA has become part of a chromosome, which has the ability to
replicate. In a chromosome there is a specific DNA sequence called the
origin of replication, which is responsible for initiating replication.
