Because in eukaryote the DNA is antiparallel, so the polymerase has to go in one direction up the leading strand and in the reverse direction down the lagging strand. Of course, two polymerase at the same time.

Which are characteristics of DNA replication?
DNA replication is : semiconservative, bidirectional, begins at unique sites (origins)
Why does replication in prokaryotes differs from replication in eukaryotes?
Replication in prokaryotes differs from replication in eukaryotes for prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication, whereas eukaryotic chromosomes have many. Eukaryotes and prokaryotes for replication double stranded DNA, four kinds of dNTPS, primers, and origins.
How does DNA replication differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
1. In eukaryotic cells replication forks make several start sites along the DNA strand which forms replication "bubbles" which get larger the more DNA is copied, and stop when DNA replication is complete. In prokaryotic cell's DNA is formed in a loop, two replication forks start along one part of the loop (origin replication) and the replication forks copy DNA in opposite directions until they meet at the other side of the loop, making an exact copy of DNA.
How does transcription differ from DNA replication Describe at least four differences?
DNA replication produces a complimentary DNA strand. Transcription produces a complimentary mRNA strand. The major enzyme that carries out DNA replication is DNA Polymerase III (in prokaryotes). The major enzyme that carries out transcription is RNA Polymerase. DNA replication results in two copies of the DNA. Transciption does not affect the DNA - it simply re-anneals (re-joins) after the process. In DNA replication the complementary base to A is T. In transcription the complementary base to A is U.
DNA is copied during a process called?
Replication.

Difference between eukaryotic DNA replication and bacterial replication?
The difference between Eukaryotic DNA and bacterial genome replication is the eukaryotic DNA is mostly linear and has multiple sites of replication. They both are bidirectional.
Why does replication in prokaryotes differs from replication in eukaryotes?
Replication in prokaryotes differs from replication in eukaryotes for prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication, whereas eukaryotic chromosomes have many. Eukaryotes and prokaryotes for replication double stranded DNA, four kinds of dNTPS, primers, and origins.
Where does the DNA replication take place in prokaryotic cell?
Replication of cellular components such as DNA takes place within the cytoplasm or nucleoid which some prokaryotes have. A nucleoid is a primitive form of a nucleus.

Replication.
Where does the Replication of DNA molecule happens?
It occurs in the nucleus during the S Phase.
What part of the cell does replication occur?
Replication is a process of synthesizing a new DNA strand complementary to a parent strand acting as a template. It takes place in a nucleus of a cell.
What are the areas on DNA where replication occurs called?
DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules are called origins of replication.
What is the enzyme responsible for attaching free floating nucleotides to an open strand of DNA for replication?
Polymerase - in prokaryotes this is accomplished by pol III at the DNA fork. In eukaryotes this is performed by pol delta.
Is it DNA Copying or DNA Replication?
replication
