Question

an individual unit of replication is referred to as
○ antiparallel.
○ a replication fork.
○ a negative supercoil.
○ a double helix.
○ a replicon.

Explanation:

• Antiparallel describes the orientation of DNA strands, not a replication unit.
• A replication fork is the site where DNA unwinds for replication, not a unit.
• A negative supercoil is a DNA structural state, not a replication unit.
• A double helix is the overall structure of DNA, not a replication unit.
• A replicon is defined as an individual unit of DNA replication, containing an origin of replication.

Answer:

a replicon.
