Question

Why do you think the eukaryotic DNA requires multiple origins of replication?

Answer 1

prokaryotic chromosomes have one origin of replication while eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple Origins this is because eukaryotic chromosomes are much larger so multiple origins are needed to replicate the entire chromosome in a short amount of time Eukaryotic chromosomes are linear .

Answer 2

Because eukaryotic DNA is much larger than prokaryotic DNA.

Explanation:

• Prokaryotic DNA is small and circular so only one origin of replication is enough for the replication of the total chromosome in prokaryote while the chromosome in eukaryotes is too much large than prokaryotes.
• So to complete the replication in time eukaryotes have multiple origins of replication. If eukaryotes were having the single origin of replication like prokaryotes than it would take months to replicate eukaryotic replication.
• Therefore multiple origins of replication are important to replicate eukaryotic DNA in time and also cell division in time.
