Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the specific sequence responsible for the initiation of DNA replication. 2. **Identifying the Key Term**: The term we are looking for is related to the starting point of DNA replication. 3. **Defining the Sequence**: The specific sequence that initiates replication is known as the "origin of replication," commonly abbreviated as "ori." 4. **Differentiating Between Organisms**: - **Prokaryotes**: In prokaryotic organisms, which have circular DNA, there is only one origin of replication (one ori). - **Eukaryotes**: In eukaryotic organisms, which possess linear DNA, there are multiple origins of replication (multiple ori). 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that the specific sequence responsible for the initiation of replication is the "origin of replication" or "ori." **Final Answer**: The specific sequence responsible for the initiation of replication is called the "origin of replication" or "ori." ---
