multiple initiation sites.

... describe most biological processes :wink: ! But my guess for reason #2 would be for accuracy reasons in replicating the DNA in multiple short strands with the DNA repair and DNA accuracy proofreading complexes could do a proficient job.

I think that there may be some correcting process, especially, that I found that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JynBEX_kg8&feature=fvw ...
