Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Replication in E. coli is bidirectional, meaning it occurs in both directions from a fixed point of initiation. This process involves the formation of two replication forks that move in opposite directions via DNA synthesis. Choosing option A accurately reflects this nature of chromosome replication in E. coli.
