Question

when does the dna replication happen ??​

Answer 1

DNA replication occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cell. By definition, prokaryotic cells do not have nuclei. Therefore, DNA replication occurs in the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell.

Answer 2

DNA replication occurs in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes and in the nucleus of eukaryotes. Regardless of where DNA replication occurs, the basic process is the same. Therefore, cells need a way of copying the DNA so that each new cell has the same genetic information. The process of copying a DNA molecule to produce two identical DNA molecules is called DNA replication. It has to happen before a cell can divide.
