Detailed explanation-1: -DNA is found inside the nucleus of eukaryotes. Inside the nucleus, DNA replication occurs. During the Synthesis stage of the Interphase, this DNA replication takes place.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eukaryotic DNA replication requires multiple replication forks, while prokaryotic replication uses a single origin to rapidly replicate the entire genome. DNA replication always occurs in the nucleus. Eukaryotic DNA replication involves more polymerases than prokaryotic replication.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA replication occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and in the nucleoid region of prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are cells that have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles, such as plant cells and animal cells. Eukaryotic cells contain their DNA in the nucleus, and thus this is where DNA replication occurs.

Detailed explanation-4: -By housing the cell’s genome, the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell’s control center. DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing all take place within the nucleus, with only the final stage of gene expression (translation) localized to the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cells must replicate their DNA before they can divide. This ensures that each daughter cell gets a copy of the genome, and therefore, successful inheritance of genetic traits.
