n your assigned readings, you learned DNA is used as a template to synthesize new DNA. This process is referred to as replication. Discuss the similarities and differences in DNA replication between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Are the changes in eukaryotes adaptations? Explain.
Be sure to use in text citation and provide references for your sources. While not required for this discussion, you may use outside resources. Any materials cited in this course should be referenced using the APA style guidelines Purdue University’s Online Writing LAB (OWL) is a free website that provides excellent information and resources for understanding and using the APA format and style.

similarities
origin of replication is necessary
both helicase enzyme is used for the unwinding of DNA
both use polymerase enzymes for its replication
elongation of DNA occurs in 5' - 3' direction
leading and lagging strand occurs
differences
in prokaryotes, replication occurs in cytoplasm while as occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotes
prokaryotes have fast replication than eukaryotes
prokaryotic DNA contains single ori (origin of replication) while as, eukaryotic have multi ori
replication is bidirectional in prokaryotes while as unidirectional in eukaryotes
..
yes
eukaryotic replication has a proofreading system, high fidelity and DNA repair mechanism etc.
