Prokaryotes use multiple replication forks because they have more DNA

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA undergo replication by the enzyme DNA polymerase. The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA is that prokaryotic DNA is found in the cytoplasm whereas eukaryotic DNA is packed into the nucleus of the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Also, eukaryotic DNA replication is initiated by forming many replication forks at multiple origins to complete DNA replication in the time available during the S phase of a cell cycle.
