Question

Which of the following are differences between prokaryotic DNA replication and eukaryotic DNA replication? (select all that apply)

Group of answer choices:
1. Eukaryotic DNA is linear, while prokaryotic DNA is circular and undergoes theta replication
2. Eukaryotic genomes often have multiple chromosomes, while prokaryotic genomes are usually only made up of one chromosome
3. DNA polymerase 3 adds dNTPs to the growing DNA strand in eukaryotes, while DNA polymerase 2 adds dNTPs to the growing DNA strand in prokaryotes
4. In eukaryotes, DNA polymerase requires a primer to add nucleotides to growing DNA strand, while in prokaryotes, no primer is needed to add nucleotides to the growing DNA strand
5. Longer telomeres are added to the end of prokaryotic chromosomes than are added to the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes
6. Eukaryotic DNA will have multiple origins of replication, while prokaryotic DNA only have one
