How to Respond to an Epidemic. Imagine an epidemic so virulent that it is the leading cause of death for children, teens, young adults. It takes 125,000 lives in America alone every year, not to mention causing nearly $80 billion in medical costs.
The origin of replication (also called the replication origin) is a particular sequence in a genome at which replication is initiated. This can either involve the replication of DNA in living organisms such as prokaryotes and eukaryotes, or that of DNA or RNA in viruses, such as double-stranded RNA viruses.
Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication, while eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication. Prokaryotic replication does not require a primer. DNA polymerases of prokaryotes can add nucleotides to both 3 and 5 ends of DNA strands, while those of eukaryotes function only... show more Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication, while eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication. Prokaryotic replication does not require a primer. DNA polymerases of prokaryotes can add nucleotides to both 3 and 5 ends of DNA strands, while those of eukaryotes function only in the 5â3 direction.
