Which Terms Accurately Reflect the Nature of Replication of the Chromosome

Question

Which terms accurately reflect the nature of replication of the chromosome in E.coli? A)bidirectional and multirepliconic B)bidirectional and fixed point of initiation C)unidirectional and fixed point of initiation D)multirepliconic and telomeric E)unidirectional and reciprocal

Accepted Answer

Replication in E. coli is bidirectional, starting from a fixed point known as the origin of replication (oriC). It is not multirepliconic in the sense that there is typically a single replication origin in the E. coli chromosome, and it does not involve telomeres as in eukaryotic chromosomes.
