A replicon has origin at which replication is initiated. It may also have a terminus at which replication stops.
#Id: 719
A genome in a bacterial cell has a single replication origin and thus constitutes a single replicon.
#Id: 720
Each haploid bacterium typically has a single chromosome, so this type of replication control is called single copy.
#Id: 721
The single circular chromosomes of Sulfolobus species have three origins and thus are composed of three replicons.
#Id: 722
Each eukaryotic chromosome contains a large number of replicons spaced unevenly throughout the chromosomes.

The bacterial DnaA protein is the replication initiator; it binds sequence specifically to multiple sites (dnaA boxes) in oriC.
