Question

Specific sequence which initiates DNA replication is known as ______
(a) Point of Replication
(b) Origin of Replication
(c) Replication Sequence
(d) Integrated DNA Replication Point

Answer 1

Specific sequence which initiates DNA replication is known as Origin of Replication.

Answer 2

Answer:

Specific sequence which starts or initiates DNA replication is called b) Origin of Replication.

DNA replication has three steps, Initiation followed by extension and termination.

The initiation of replication occurs when initiation proteins get attached to the origin of replication on the template DNA and helicase separates two strands of DNA.

DNA replication occurs to produce DNA copies and DNA primase and polymerase helps in the elongation stage of DNA synthesis.

Ligase enzyme is seen in the termination phase of DNA synthesis.
