Which statement about DNA replication is true?

Biology
1 answer:
Talja [164]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

D. Prokaryotes only have one origin of replication to initiate replication.

Explanation:

The DNA of prokaryotes is smaller than that of eukaryotes. So, prokaryotes have only one origin of replication. Origin of replication is the region of DNA where the process of DNA replication starts. The helicases recognize and bind to the origin of replication to start the melting of DNA double helix for replication.

DNA replication starts at the single origin of replication and stops at termination in prokaryotes.

slava [35]

Answer;

-Reproduction;

Explanation;

-Mitosis is a shape of cell division that outcomes in two daughter cells which might be genetically identical to every other and to the unique cell.In unicellular organisms together with micro organism, mitosis is a kind of asexual duplicate, making equal copies of a unmarried mobile.

- Single-celled or unicellular organisms use cell division as their method of reproduction. Mitosis is a type of asexual reproduction, making identical copies of a single cell. Cells make identical copies of themselves through mitosis.

Two cell divisions mitosis or meiosis
Troyanec [42]
Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.[1]Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle. In eukaryotes, there are two distinct types of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis),[2] and a reproductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half to produce haploid gametes(meiosis). Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells by undergoing one round of DNA replication followed by two divisions. Homologous chromosomes are separated in the first division, and sister chromatids are separated in the second division. Both of these cell division cycles are used in the process of sexual reproduction at some point in their life cycle. Both are believed to be present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

Prokaryotes (bacteria) undergo a vegetative cell division known as binary fission, where their genetic material is segregated equally into two daughter cells. All cell divisions, regardless of organism, are preceded by a single round of DNA replication.

For simple unicellular microorganisms such as the amoeba, one cell division is equivalent to reproduction – an entire new organism is created. On a larger scale, mitotic cell division can create progeny from multicellular organisms, such as plants that grow from cuttings. Mitotic cell division enables sexually reproducing organisms to develop from the one-celled zygote, which itself was produced by meiotic cell division from gametes. After growth, cell division by mitosis allows for continual construction and repair of the organism.[3] The human body experiences about 10 quadrillion cell divisions in a lifetime.[4]

The primary concern of cell division is the maintenance of the original cell's genome. Before division can occur, the genomic information that is stored in chromosomes must be replicated, and the duplicated genome must be separated cleanly between cells.[5] A great deal of cellular infrastructure is involved in keeping genomic information consistent between generations.
