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.

There is only one replication origin in prokaryotes. Only one DNA polymerase enzyme works at once, while in eukaryotes there are two replication origins. Therefore there are two sets of the enzyme DNA polymerase working at once.

in eukaryotic replication primer are involved while primer is absent in prokayotic replication.

in eukaryotic replication primer are removed by FLAP and RNASeH mechanism while in prokaryotes it is removed by exonuclease activity.

Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication, while eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication.

Eukaryotes replicate at several points at the same time.

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.

Is DNA contained within a nucleus for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Eukaryotes have a nucleus, prokaryotes do not.


What sets of materials are required by both eukaryotes and prokaryotes for 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.


What is the site of DNA replication in eukaryotes?

DNA replication occurs in living cells. The name of the sites where DNA replication occurs is called the origins of replication.

How are eukaryotes and prokaryotes the different?

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and eukaryotic cells do. The main difference to remember is that everything in a eukaryotic cell is much larger and more complex than what would be fouind in a prokaryotic cell. Bacteria is made of prokaryotic cells. Plants and animals are made of eukaryotic cells. In addition to not having a nucleus (the main difference), prokaryotes also have circular DNA while eukaryotes have linear DNA. As such, prokaryotes do not have okazaki fragments formed during DNA replication. Eukaryote genes have introns and exons while prokaryotes do not, and eukaryotes have more "junk" DNA in general.
