The right answer is D.

The origin of replication (also called "ori") is a unique DNA sequence that allows the initiation of replication. It is from this sequence that unidirectional or bidirectional replication begins.

Prokaryotes have a single circular DNA molecule and therefore usually only one origin of replication. Depending on the Archaea species, there may be one or more origins of replication by replicon1. Eukaryotes have multiple origins of replication on each chromosome.

The origin of replication of Escherichia coli is known as oriC and extends over 245 base pairs (bp). It contains upstream of a 13 bp sequence (GATCTNTTNTTTT) repeated three times, and further downstream, four 9 bp (9mer) sequences that are in either orientation. Proteins, called DnaA, will bind to the repeated 9 bp sequences. The DNA will then wrap around the protein complex of DnaA. This conformational change in DNA results in the opening of the DNA double helix at the adenine and thymine-rich 13 bp repeat which allows enzymes and other factors to bind to dissociated strands and start replication.

ziro4ka [17]

<h2>How does a missense mutation affect the function of a protein?</h2>

A missense mutation will change the amino acid sequence. This may alter the function of the protein, usually negatively, but sometimes positively. This later case may be favored by evolution, as the change is heritable.

natta225 [31]

Answer:

It is important to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when constructing a recombinant gene used to produce a human protein secreted in milk because it is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an organism.

Explanation:

Regulatory Sequence is a segment of a nucleic acid molecule which is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an organism. Regulation of gene expression is an essential feature of all living organisms and viruses.

All are correct. Ribose has an alternating sugar (ribose) as it’s backbone, it is found in the cytoplasm, and it contains uracil instead of thymine.
