What do you mean by one area? If by one area you mean does it start at one area then stop and continue on another area then no, DNA replication is continuous and when it takes place it is the most important thing going on in the cell. The cells resources are directed at this process * DNA replication means copying the entire DNA molecule, so it involves the entire molecule, but not all at the same time. In bacteria (prokaryotic cells) replication begins at one point in the molecule and continues all the way round the circular molecule.
Beginning at just one place would take too long in eukaryotic cells; someone has calculated that our longest chromosomes would take about a fortnight to replicate, and we cannot wait that long! So replication begins at a number of sites along the length of the DNA molecule. At each replication site, as the DNA strands are separated there is a bulge in the molecule called a replication bubble. As replication proceeds these bubbles become longer, and eventually they merge into one another and the job is done.

What is meant by ori region in a plasmid?
A site where the Dna replication is initiated. As to start replication ......
When does DNA replication take place?
DNA replication occurs during the synthesis phase of interphase of the cell cycle.
Is it DNA Copying or DNA Replication?
replication
Where does the DNA replication take place in prokaryotic cell?
Replication of cellular components such as DNA takes place within the cytoplasm or nucleoid which some prokaryotes have. A nucleoid is a primitive form of a nucleus.
Produces The RNA primer required for DNA replication to begin?
the chemical primase produces the rna primer to start DNA replication. the primase is later removed and replaced with DNA by a repair polymerase
Where does DNA replication takes place?
DNA replication takes place in NUCLEUS
Where the cell does DNA replication take place?
DNA replication takes place in the chromosome which is located in the nucleus of a cell.
What are the areas on DNA where replication occurs called?
DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules are called origins of replication.
How many times does DNA replication take place in the process of meiosis?
only once
True or false replication start at one end of DNA molecule and proceeds to the other end?
False: DNA replication starts at origins of replication which can be anywhere on the DNA molecule. Replication is taking place at multiple origins at the same time.
DNA is copied during a process called?
Replication.
In which phase does chromosome replication occur?
Chromosomal replication and DNA replication takes place in S-phase.
What is meant by ori region in a plasmid?
A site where the Dna replication is initiated. As to start replication ......
Where does replication in DNA take place?
DNA replication takes place in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell (plant or animal cell or the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell (bacteria).
Where does replication of the two DNA strands takes place?
in a direction opposite to that of the replication fork
Replication of the two DNA strands takes place?
In the same directions of the replication fork
In humans where does DNA replication take place?
the nucleus
