Card 5DNA Replication

Why does an alien piece of DNA need to be linked with the origin of replication to multiply in a host organism?

Answer

Because the alien DNA needs to become part of a chromosome to replicate. The origin of replication is a specific DNA sequence that initiates replication. Without this sequence, the alien DNA cannot mu
