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.
The functional origin is the actual site in the chromosomes where DNA replication begins. It is important to keep in mind the difference between these two concepts when we talk about the replication origin of eukaryotic cells.n most cases, there is a single defined site that serves as both the functional and the genetic origin. In eukaryotic cells, multiple origins are needed for DNA replication, since the genome of eukaryotes is much bigger than that of prokaryotes or viruses.
