Question

The Minimal Chromosome To enable it to be transmitted intact from one cell generation to the next, the linear DNA molecule of a eukaryotic chromosome must have appropriate nucleotide sequences making up three special kinds of regions: origins of replication (at least one), a centromere, and two telomeres. What would happen if such a chromosomal DNA molecule somehow lost: a) all of its origins of replication

Answer 1

The chromosome wouldn’t be able to replicate

Step-by-step explanation:

Without an origin of replication, the chromosome could not be copied prior to mitosis.
