All of the following circular DNAs exhibit theta replication except
A)bacteria.
B)mitochondria.
C)chloroplasts.
D)plasmids.
E)protists.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Theta replication is a type of DNA replication found in prokaryotes, such as bacteria and plasmids. Mitochondria and chloroplasts also have circular DNA, but they use a different replication process. Protists can have circular DNA as well, but they can also have linear DNA, so it is not accurate to say that all protists exhibit theta replication. Therefore, the best choice is E, protists.
