Cabo San Lucas, Mexico â Residents and tourists hunkered down in shelters and hotel conference rooms overnight as a powerful and sprawling Hurricane Odile made landfall on the southern Baja California peninsula.
DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell. Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. To accomplish this, each strand of existing DNA acts as a template for replication.
Each Chromosome in a Eukaryotic cell is very long, if replication started at one place, it would take forever to be finished because there are billions of nucleotides per strand of DNA. So multiple origins of replication are needed to make the process go faster.
