Which of the following is the name of the origin of replication in E. coli?
A
OriP
B
OriC
C
OriV
D
OriT
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: The origin of replication is a specific sequence in a genome at which replication is initiated. In E. coli, this is a well-studied process.
Identify the correct term: The origin of replication in E. coli is known as 'OriC'. This is a specific DNA sequence where replication begins.
Differentiate between terms: OriP, OriV, and OriT are origins of replication in other contexts or organisms. OriP is associated with the Epstein-Barr virus, OriV is often used in plasmid replication, and OriT is involved in the transfer of DNA during bacterial conjugation.
Recall the significance: OriC is crucial for the replication of the E. coli chromosome, ensuring that the DNA is copied accurately and efficiently during cell division.
Conclude with the correct choice: Based on the understanding of these terms, the correct name for the origin of replication in E. coli is 'OriC'.
