Determine whether the characteristics describe dna replication in prokaryotes only, eukaryotes only, or both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. there is one origin of replication. there are multiple origins of replication. dna is synthesized in a 5? to 3? direction. replication occurs in the nucleus. dna polymerase synthesizes the new dna strand. replication occurs in the cytoplasm.

Prokaryotes:

-There is one origin  of replication.

-Replication occurs in the cytoplasm

Eukaryotes:

-There are multiple origins of replication

-Replication occurs in the nucleus

Both:

-DNA polymerase  synthesizes the new  DNA strand.

-DNA is synthesized  in a 5′ to 3′ direction.

Explanation:

DNA replication refers to the biological procedure of producing two similar copies of DNA from the original DNA. It comprises three stages, that is, initiation, elongation, and termination.  

The prokaryotic DNA comprises a single origin of replication, while the eukaryotic DNA comprises multiple origins of replication.  

In prokaryotes, replication of DNA takes place within the cytoplasm, while in eukaryotes the replication of DNA takes place within the nucleus.  

In prokaryotes DNA polymerase I initiate the replication in 5 prime to 3 prime direction, while in eukaryotes, DNA polymerase alpha initiates the replication in 5 prime to 3 prime direction. Thus, it is taking place in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.  

In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, DNA polymerase synthesizes the new strand of DNA.
