The replication termini (Ter sites) on the E. coli chromosome are typically oriented as shown below in Figure 1. What would happen in one round of replication if the orientations of all the Ter sites in the chromosome were reversed. (Arrow heads are pointing in opposite directions of where they are now) Hint: Look at the question before this as a clue. Both replication complexes would continue along the DNA and replicate the DNA several fold. The replication complexes would continue along the DNA and meet. One complex would disassociate while the other would continue and replicate the DNA several fold. The two replication forks would never meet, and part of the chromosome near the terminus would remain unreplicated.
