How is bacterial DNA replication different from eukaryotic DNA replication? O The result of bacterial DNA replication is two new double stranded DNA molecules that each contain a template strand and a newly synthesized strand, while the result of eukaryotic DNA replication is one newly synthesized double stranded DNA molecule and one DNA molecule that was the oniginal template O Bacterial DNA replication involves nucleotides that are not found in eukaryotic DNA replication Bacterial DNA replication moves out from the origin of replication in two directions, while eukaryotic DNA replication moves out from the origin of replication in only one direction. O Bacterial DNA replication only replicates small pieces of the chromosome, while eukaryotic DNA replication replicates the entire chromosome O Bacterial DNA replication begins at a single location on the chromosome, while eukaryotic DNA replication begins in many places dispersed throughout each chromosome References eBook & Resources Multiple Choice Differences betvveen becterial Areage and Lin and eukaryotic DNA Section: 14.05 Eukoryotie Chromosom

Explanation / Answer

The basic difference in bacterial and eukaryotic DNA replication is that Bacterial replication begins at a single location on the chromosome, while eukaryotic DNA replication begins in many places dispersed throughout each chromosome. The bacterial genome is (4.6Mbp for E.Coli) is a single replicon or monorepliconic. On the other hand, eukaryotes contain mutiple replication origins on a single chromosome due to relatively larger genome size than bacterial genome.Multiple origins in eukaryotic genome ensures replication of whole genome efficiently and in less time.
