DNA sequences comprising the yeast origin of replication can be removed from yeast cells and inserted into bacterial DNA molecules. Because these sequences promote replication of the DNA in which they are contained, they are referred to as __________. (Select all correct choices)
A)polygamous replicating sequences
B)autonomous replicating sequences
C)analogous replicating sequences
D)ARSs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autonomous replicating sequences (ARSs) are DNA sequences that allow a DNA molecule to replicate independently. In yeast, ARSs are essential for the initiation of DNA replication.
