Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Replication of DNA in E. coli occurs in a bidirectional fashion, meaning it proceeds in opposite directions from a starting point, known as the origin of replication. This allows for double-stranded DNA to be unwound and replicated simultaneously on both strands, increasing the efficiency of replication.
