How do eukaryotes speed the process of replication-since they have multiple long chromosomes?
Wiki User

The eukaryotic genome is so much larger than the prokaryotic genome that it would not be practical to rely on a single origin of replication site when copying it for cell division. By incorporating several, the eukaryotic cell can divide without unnecessarily long delay in chromosomal replication.

∙ 9y agoThere are many theories to explain why genomic DNA in eukaryotes is condensed into several chromosomes. The most generally accepted theory suggests that many smaller chromosomes are easier to access during protein production and easier to copy for cell division than a single, massive and unwieldy chromosome.

In what process are chromosomes duplicated?
Chromosomes are duplicated in the interphase of cell division.
Is Conjugation a process carried out by bacteria and eukaryotes or eukaryotes only?
It's usually BACTERIA only. It's only been documented in eukarya on a few occasions.
Chromosomes exchange genetic information through the process of what?
Chromosomes exchange genetic information during a process called crossing over. This occurs during meiosis
Explaining why the process of mitosis and meiosis are both?
mitosis is the duplicate of chromosomes and meiosis is the reducing of chromosomes.
What is the process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of chromosomes?
During Meiosis, the process at which reproductive cells divide, the new daughter cells will have half the chromosomes as the parent cells. On the other hand, during mitosis, the division of body cells, after the process is over, the daughter cells will have the same amount of chromosomes as the parents.
How do eukaryotes reproduce asexually?
mitosis
Which process uses chloroplasts in eukaryotes?
The process known as Photosynthesis.
What process do eukaryotes reproduce asexually?
Eukaryotic cells (eukaryotes) use mitosis to reproduce asexually.
Protein synthesis in eukaryotes is similar to the process in prokaryotes in that both eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
use codons to determine polypeptide sequences
Mitochondria and plastids likely formed in eukaryotes in what way?
Endosymbiosisis the process that caused mitochondria and plastids to form eukaryotes. One larger engulfs a minuscule prokaryote and turns it into eukaryotes.
The initiation codon for the process of protein synthesis in eukaryotes is?
AUG
When do chromosomes (DNA) replicate?
mitosis is the process by which the DNA of a cell is copied, so chromosomes replicated throughout the process
In what process are chromosomes duplicated?
Chromosomes are duplicated in the interphase of cell division.
When chromosomes separate what is the process called?
This process is called meiosis.
What is the process by which cells have half the chromosomes?
The answer is
Where does the process of making RNA from DNA occur?
nucleus for eukaryotes, cytoplasm for prokaryotes.
In eukaryotes the process of cell division is called mitosis?
Somatic, or body cells
