Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA polymerase recognizes and copies DNA that is part of a replicon, which is a region of DNA that is replicated by a single origin of replication. Complementary DNA, transgenes, reporter genes, and selectable markers may also be replicated by DNA polymerase, but these terms do not specifically refer to regions of DNA that are replicated by a single origin.
