Which of the following describes how DNA replication differs between a prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
A
Prokaryotes have circular DNA requiring one origin of replication while eukaryotes have multiple origins on linear DNA
B
Prokaryotes have linear DNA requiring one origin of replication while eukaryotes have multiple origins on circular DNA
C
Prokaryotes have circular DNA requiring multiple origins of replication while eukaryotes have one origin on linear DNA
D
Prokaryotes have linear DNA requiring multiple origins of replication while eukaryotes have one origin on circular DNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The prokaryotic DNA replication is a continuous process and occurs throughout the cell cycle. The eukaryotic DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following statements accurately describes the differences between DNA replication in prokaryotes and DNA replication in eukaryotes? Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication, whereas eukaryotic chromosomes have many.
