234/300 Eukaryotic DNA replication is different from prokaryotic DNA replication in all of these ways EXCEPT unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotes typically have multiple origins of replication. nucleosome assembly must immediately follow DNA replication in eukaryotes whereas this is unnecessary in prokaryotes. prokaryotic DNA is typically circular while eukaryotic DNA is typically linear. eukaryotic DNA is made up of different bases than prokaryotic DNA.

What is a major difference between eukaryotic DNA replication and prokaryotic DNA replication? Group of answer choices DNA polymerases of prokaryotes can add nucleotides to both 3' and 5' ends of DNA strands, while those of eukaryotes function only in the 5' → 3' direction. Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication, while eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication. Prokaryotic replication does not require a primer. DNA replication in prokaryotic cells is conservative. DNA replication in eukaryotic cells is semi-conservative.

Which are true of prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes? Eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication per chromosome. Prokaryotic DNA coils in a form of nucleosomes. Eukaryotic DNA is bound to histone proteins. Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication per chromosome. Prokaryotic chromosomes are usually not associated with proteins. Eukaryotic DNA forms nucleosomes by associating with triplets of histone proteins.
