Why do origins of replication in various bacteria have conserved DNA consensus sequences?
◦ Consensus sequences are found throughout bacterial genomes and so would be found at the origin as well.
◦ The consensus sequence allows the origin to wrap into a circle and recruit replication initiation proteins.
◦ It is more efficient to use the same sequence multiple times in different genomes than to change it.
◦ Fewer mutations in the DNA occur at the very beginning of replication at the origin, hence why they are conserved as consensus sequences.
◦ Origins need to be recognized by replication initiation proteins to open up their AT-rich regions.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
