A eukaryotic cell has just started replicating its DNA. What is a TRUE statement about the cell? Select ALL that apply. The cell is in the G2 stage of the cell cycle. Near each origin of replication there are two replication forks. Telomerase will soon be needed to make sure that the lagging strand at the end of the chromosome is complete. Ligase is being used to remove RNA primers.

Which of the following is NOT a true statement comparing prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA replication? a. DNA replication always occurs in the nucleus. b. Only eukaryotic chromosomes require telomerase to maintain the ends of their chromosomes. c. Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic DNA polymerases build off RNA primers made by primase d. Eukaryotic DNA replication involves more polymerases than prokaryotic replication. e. Eukaryotic DNA replication requires multiple replication forks, while prokaryotic replication uses a single origin to rapidly replicate the entire genome.
