The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between Continuous and Discontinuous Replication. Difference # Continuous Replication: 1. Occurs on leading of a replication fork. 2. Starts at the beginning of replication. 3. Progresses in on direction, i.e., towards the replication fork. 4. Synthesis of DNA takes place continuously. 5. In vivo need no RNA primer. 6. Only DNA [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. Difference # Prokaryotes: 1. Number of replicon or origin is one. 2. When circular DNA is copied, replication begins at a single point and the replication forks move around the circle, a structure shaped like the Greek letter theta (Ө). 3. The length of RNA primer is [...]
The following points highlight the four main replications of DNA. The replications are: 1. Plasmid 2. Mitochondrial DNA 3. Kinetoplast DNA 4. Chloroplast DNA. Replication # 1. Plasmid: In addition to the nucleoid DNA, the cytoplasm of bacterial cell contains one or more extra chromosomal mini-circular DNA duplexes which are known as plasmids that can replicate independently of the nucleoid [...]
