What characterizes the replication bubble in DNA replication?

It is where the DNA strands are completely separated. (correct)

It prevents Helicase from functioning effectively.

It is formed by multiple origins of replication.

It forms only at the consensus areas.

Study Notes

DNA Replication

Replication starts by separating DNA strands at several locations. These locations are rich in adenine (A) and thymine (T) bases.
Bacterial DNA has only one origin point.
The enzyme that initially separates DNA strands at the origin point is called DNA-A protein.
Once the area is open (unzipped), it's called a replication bubble.
Single-strand binding proteins (SSB proteins) stabilize the replication bubble by preventing the separated DNA strands from rejoining (reannealing).
SSB proteins also protect single strands of DNA from being damaged.
The enzyme helicase unwinds the DNA double helix further.
Helicase requires a lot of energy to break the hydrogen bonds between bases.
As helicase moves along, it creates supercoils in the DNA ahead of it.
To remove supercoils, enzymes are needed. (This section is incomplete)
