Autonomous replicating sequences that have been isolated and analyzed share several distinct elements. Which distinct elements below are shared by autonomous replicating sequences? (Select all correct choices)
A)the core element
B)a conserved sequence of 11 base pairs, which functions as a specific binding site for the origin recognition complex
C)a conserved sequence of 11 base pairs, which functions as the origin recognition complex
D)a conserved sequence of 22 base pairs, which functions as a specific binding site for the origin recognition complex

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autonomous replicating sequences share the core element and a conserved sequence of 11 base pairs, which functions as a specific binding site for the origin recognition complex. The conserved sequence of 11 base pairs does not function as the origin recognition complex itself, so option C is incorrect. Option D refers to a sequence of 22 base pairs, which is not mentioned in the question, so it is also incorrect.
