A molecule of bacterial DNA introduced into a yeast cell is imported into the nucleus but fails to replicate with the yeast DNA. Where do you think the block to replication arises? Choose the protein or protein complex below that is most probably responsible for the failure to replicate bacterial DNA. Give an explanation for your answer. Group of answer choices

Angelo Dunn · Answer 1

Initiator proteins.

Explanation:

DNA replication may be defined as the process of formation of daughter DNA strand from the template parental strand. Three main process of DNA replication are initiation, elongation and termination.

The bacterial DNA is fail to replicate in yeast cells because the DNA is not able to show initiation in yeast cells. Initiation process is important to start the DNA replication. The specific proteins and polymerase are required in different organism. There is problem in initiation proteins that fails to initiate DNA replication.

Thus, the answer is initiator proteins.
