DNA Replication in Eukaryotes
The DNA replication in eukaryotes such as animals, plants, and fungi, is almost similar to the DNA replication in prokaryotes but is a more complex and regulated process that ensures the accurate duplication of genetic information. In eukaryotes, there are multiple origins of replication present and in eukaryotes, the polymerisation process is carried out by the enzyme Pol δ, whereas in prokaryotes it is carried out by DNA Pol III.
DNA Replication
DNA replication is a fundamental biological process by which a cell duplicates its entire DNA. DNA is a self-replicating structure and the replication is catalyzed by enzymes. Through DNA Replication, genetic information is passed on from one generation of cells to the next during cell division. It takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.
