Answer :)

The site of origin of replication contains A-T-rich sequence that is a DNA unwinding element, and DnaA recognition sequence TGTGGATAA and 5’ TTATC/ACACA 3’ as the initiator sequence.

In eukaryotes, DNA replication origins contain autonomous replication sequences filled with autonomous consensus sequences. This consensus sequence is 5’/(A/T)TTTA(T/C)(A/G)TTT(A/T) 3’. GC rich sequence is also another sequence for the origin of replication.

To identify the sequence, use the following procedure:

Isolate DNA from a sample.
Perform restriction digestion of the sample.
Run the sample on the gel electrophoresis.
Perform southern blotting to identify the OriC sequence using the specific DNA probes.
Select out the particular DNA sequence bound to the antibody.
Sequence the selected DNA using Single molecule real time (SMRT) sequencing, or Nanopore DNA sequencing.

Replication of the E. coli chromosome starts at a particular point, the origin of chromosomal replication (oriC) and proceeds bidirectionally around the circular chromosome. A. Describe how the strands at oriC are separated to allow replication of the chromosome. B. Once the replication is initiated the process of bidirectional semi-discontinuous DNA replication occurs. Describe this process.

You are curious how the three eukaryotic DNA polymerases assemble at the replication origin. To study this, your lab has purified DNA polymerases, a DNA template with a replication origin, and a procedure for measuring DNA-bound polymerases. You carry out experiments to see the effect of leaving out a DNA polymerase and obtain the results in the table. POLYMERASES INCLUDED DNA-BOUND POLYMERASE α, ε ε α, δ δ δ, ε δ, ε α, δ, ε α, δ, ε 4.
