Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) in DNA replication?

To provide the template for the new telomere
To ensure that each region of the DNA is replicated once and only once in each S phase (correct)
To synthesize new RNA primers
To facilitate the disassembly of histones in front of the replication fork

What is the role of histone chaperones in DNA replication?

To restore the full complement of histones (correct)
To synthesize new RNA primers
