Determine whether the characteristics describe DNA replication in prokaryotes only, eukaryotes only, or both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

There is one origin of replication.
DNA polymerase synthesizes the new DNA strand.
Replication occurs in the cytoplasm.
Replication occurs in the nebulous.
DNA is synthesized in a 5' to 3' direction.
There are multiple origins of replication.

they ALL go into a category
1 prokaryotes only
2 eukaryotes only
3 both

Answer 1

Replication is intimately linked to cell division in all organisms; both prokaryote and

eukaryote. Cell division in eukaryotes is carried out in the context of the cell cycle.

Unlike prokaryotes which can double under optimal conditions in as little as 20 min the

eukaryotic cell cycle takes some 18 to 24 h to complete.

Answer 2

Prokaryotes: replication occures in the cytoplasm

There is one origin of replication

Eukaryotes: replication occurs in the nucleus

There are multiple origins of replication

Both: DNA is synthesized in a 5’ to 3’ direction

DNA polymerase synthesizes the new DNA strand
