Eukaryotes differ from prokaryotes in the mechanism of DNA replication due to

A

Different enzymes (instead of same enzyme) for synthesis of lagging and leading strands

B

Discontinuous rather than semidiscontinuous replication

C

Use of DNA primers rather than RNA primers

D

Unidirectional rather than bidirectional replication

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In eukaryotes separate DNA polymerase is used for the synthesis of leading and lagging strand.
DNA poly `delta` - Lagging strand synthesis
DNA poly `epsi`= Leading strand synthesis
While in prokaryotes DNA polymerase III is responsible for both leading and lagging strand synthesis
