  2. Oct 31, 2023 · Eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication, which initiate replication almost simultaneously. Each origin of replication forms a bubble of duplicated DNA on either side of the origin of replication.

  3. B) Linear eukaryotic chromosomes contain many replication origins. Initiator binding (i) facilitates replicative helicase loading (ii) onto duplex DNA to license origins. iii) A subset of loaded helicases is activated for replisome assembly.

  4. Jan 13, 2023 · The initiation of DNA replication occurs at multiple sites along eukaryotic cell chromosomes. The mechanism that defines the location of these replication origins varies considerably, ranging from DNA-sequence-specific to epigenetically determined and inherited.

  5. There are multiple origins of replication on the eukaryotic chromosome; humans can have up to 100,000 origins of replication. The rate of replication is approximately 100 nucleotides per second, much slower than prokaryotic replication.

  6. Mar 17, 2022 · There are multiple origins of replication on the eukaryotic chromosome, such that replication can occur simultaneously from several places in the genome. During elongation, an enzyme called DNA polymerase adds DNA nucleotides to the 3' end of the template.

  7. Replication origins in eukaryotic chromosomes. Replication initiates at multiple origins (ori), each of which produces two replication forks.

  8. Eucaryotic Chromosomes Contain Multiple Origins of Replication. We have seen how two replication forks begin at a single replication origin in bacteria and proceed in opposite directions, moving away from the origin until all of the DNA in the single circular chromosome is replicated.
