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.

Synthesis of the new DNA strand is from $5^{\prime}$ to $3^{\prime}$ c. DNA unwinds, primase adds RNA primer, and DNA polymerases synthesize the new strand and remove the RNA primer. d. Many initiation points exist in each eukaryotic chromosome. e. Okazaki fragments are synthesized in the opposite direction from the direction in which the replication fork moves.
