True statement regarding the initiation of DNA replication in bacteria is-

E. Two of the given answers-

i.e. A.Proteins bind to the DNA to begin separation of the strands.

and C.Following initial separation, DNA helicase enzymes continue to separate the strands ( helicases unwind the double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs, while other proteins keep the single strands from rejoining).

Statement B. is incorrect because strands are initially separated at ''oriC'' region of DNA.

Why is it important that the initiation of DNA replication is carefully regulated? What is the proposed role of DnaA in this process? What extra proteins are necessary for lagging-strand synthesis that are not needed in leading-strand synthesis? Replication in eukaryotes is similar to that of prokaryotes. However initiation is different. Describe how initiation of replication occurs and how it is tied to the cell cycle. Explain in general terms how DNA replication can occur in a chromatin environment and...
