For which of the following is the "end-replication problem" relevant?
A)Circular DNA
B)Linear chromosomes
C)The centromere region of a chromosome
D)Bacterial chromosome
E)Theta model of replication

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "end-replication problem" is relevant for linear chromosomes because the DNA polymerase cannot fully replicate the 5' end of one of the strands, resulting in the loss of some genetic material. Circular DNA does not have this problem because it has no ends, and the other options are not directly related to the end-replication problem. The theta model of replication is a mechanism for replicating circular DNA.
