उत्तर
| Feature | Prokaryotic Replication | Eukaryotic Replication |
| Location | Occurs in the cytoplasm. | Occurs inside the nucleus. |
| Timing | A continuous process throughout the cell cycle. | Limited specifically to the S-phase of the cell cycle. |
| DNA Type | Circular, double-stranded DNA. | Linear, double-stranded DNA. |
| Origin of Replication | Single origin (one point per molecule). | Multiple origins (thousands along the chromosome). |
| Speed | Very rapid (approx. 2000 base pairs/sec). | Much slower (approx. 100 base pairs/sec). |
| Okazaki Fragments | Large (1000–2000 nucleotides long). | Small (100–200 nucleotides long). |
| Enzymes | Primarily uses DNA Polymerase I and III. | Uses DNA Polymerase α,δ, and ε |
| Telomeres | Not present; no telomerase needed. | Present; requires telomerase to replicate ends. |
