Question

origin of replication
dna replication starts at the origin of replication. these are specific sites found along a dna strand. the cell can identify these sites because of the dna sequence located there. a eukaryotic cell will have a few hundred origins of replication in order to make the process of copying dna faster. once dna replication begins, it will take place in both directions moving away from the origin of replication.

1. the

is where dna
replication begins.

1. eukaryotic cells have

origins of replication along their dna.

1. once replication begins, it will continue in

both
along the dna strand

Explanation:

Question 7

From the text, it says "DNA replication starts at the origin of replication". So the term that fits in the blank for question 7 is "origin of replication" as it's the site where DNA replication begins.

The text states "A eukaryotic cell will have a few hundred origins of replication...". So the blank in question 8 should be filled with "a few hundred" as that's the number of origins of replication in eukaryotic cells.

The text mentions "Once DNA replication begins, it will take place in both directions moving away from the origin of replication". So the blank in question 9 is "directions" as replication proceeds in both directions from the origin.

Answer:

origin of replication
