Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -DNA replication occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotes, whereas in cytoplasm in prokaryotes.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA replication occurs in microscopically visible complexes at discrete sites (replication foci) in the nucleus.
Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus sends “commands” to the cell via molecular messengers that translate the information from DNA. Each cell in your body (with the exception of germ cells) contains the complete set of your DNA. When a cell divides, the DNA must be duplicated so that the each new cell receives a full complement of DNA.
