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.


What are the areas on DNA where replication occurs called?

DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules are called origins of replication.


What happens first at each origin of a replication?

The enzyme that catalyzes DNA replication is DNA Polymerase. ... This enzyme first binds to a specific site on the DNA known as the origin of ... a single origin on their chromosome while eukaryotes have several on each of ... This is similar to what happens when your coiled telephone cord gets overwound and forms knots.


Where does transcription start in a prokaryotic promoter?

Transcription in a prokaryotic promoter starts at the DNA sequence called the "promoter region."


When does transcription begins prokaryotic cell?

Transcription in prokaryotic cells begins when RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene. This binding allows RNA polymerase to start synthesizing mRNA based on the DNA template strand. The initiation of transcription is a critical step that involves recognizing specific DNA sequences and recruiting necessary factors for gene expression.


When does DNA replecation occur in meiosis?

DNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase, which happens before meiosis I in the cell cycle. This ensures that each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids before the start of the meiotic divisions.

What is meant by ori region in a plasmid?

The ori region, or origin of replication, in a plasmid is a specific sequence of DNA where replication begins. It is necessary for the plasmid to replicate independently within a host cell. The ori region contains the necessary signals for the initiation of DNA replication.


Does DNA replication start at only one place in the DNA?

What do you mean by one area? If by one area you mean does it start at one area then stop and continue on another area then no, DNA replication is continuous and when it takes place it is the most important thing going on in the cell. The cells resources are directed at this process * DNA replication means copying the entire DNA molecule, so it involves the entire molecule, but not all at the same time. In bacteria (prokaryotic cells) replication begins at one point in the molecule and continues all the way round the circular molecule.Beginning at just one place would take too long in eukaryotic cells; someone has calculated that our longest chromosomes would take about a fortnight to replicate, and we cannot wait that long! So replication begins at a number of sites along the length of the DNA molecule. At each replication site, as the DNA strands are separated there is a bulge in the molecule called a replication bubble. As replication proceeds these bubbles become longer, and eventually they merge into one another and the job is done.


What is the time between the end of cell division and the start of DNA replication?
