How to Respond to an Epidemic. Imagine an epidemic so virulent that it is the leading cause of death for children, teens, young adults. It takes 125,000 lives in America alone every year, not to mention causing nearly $80 billion in medical costs.
The origin of replication (also called the replication origin) is a particular sequence in a genome at which replication is initiated. This can either involve the replication of DNA in living organisms such as prokaryotes and eukaryotes, or that of DNA or RNA in viruses, such as double-stranded RNA viruses.
Since eukaryotic DNA is much larger, multiple replications sites are utilized where as in prokaryotic DNA replication only one site is initiated. Eukaryotic DNA replication has 4 DNA polymerases, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, where prokaryotes only have three which are polymerase I, II, and III.
