The following statement about initiation of DNA replication is true: A) All chromosomes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have one origin of replication. B) Initiation of DNA replication occurs when an origin of replication melts. C) DNA polymerase initiates DNA replication by binding to an origin of replication, following by recruitment of DnaA or the ORC. D) DnaA is essential for initiation of DNA replication in all living cells.

Prokaryotes can only replicate their single circular chromosome in the nucleus.
Which of the following statements about binary fission is false? a. In both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the outcome of cell reproduction is a pair of daughter cells, which are genetically identical to the parent cell. b. Karyokinesis is unnecessary in prokaryotes because there is no nucleus. c. Replication of the prokaryotic chromosome begins at the origin of replication and continues in both directions at once. d. The mitotic spindle draws the duplicated chromosomes to the opposite ends of the cell followed by formation of a septum and two daughter cells.
