Question

In what ways does replication differ between eukaryotes and prokaryotes?

Short answer

DNA replication is the process by which a molecule of DNA is doubled.

Step-by-step solution

DNA replication

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA replicates in a semi-conservative manner. However, there is much difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic replication.

Difference between in both replications:-

In prokaryotes:-

DNA replication is a continuous process and occurs in the cytoplasm.

In Eukaryotes:-

The DNAreplication process is slow and occurs in the S-phase of the cell cycle in the Nucleus of the cell.

Thus, replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes are different.
