About this document
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic DNA Replication by smn416 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the key differences between DNA replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, DNA replication begins at a single origin of replication and produces positive supercoils. The double-stranded DNA is unwound at the replication fork where new strands are synthesized in a semiconservative manner, resulting in one parental and one daughter strand. In eukaryotes, replication begins at multiple sites and DNA is packaged with proteins into chromatin or mitochondria.
