The correct answer is: Prokaryotic DNA is much smaller than eukaryotic DNA.

The first difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genome is its structure and complexity: Prokaryotic cells have a small amount of DNA in the form of a single, circular chromosome located in the cytoplasm, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and DNA arranged in multiple, linear chromosomes in it; eukaryotic cell has about 25 times more DNA than a prokaryotic cell. Differences in replication between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:

• point of origin

• direction- replication occurs in two opposing directions in prokaryotes while in eukaryotes it is unidirectional

• polymerases- in prokaryotes there are only one or two enzymes polymerases, while in eukaryotes four or more

• faster rate in prokaryotic cells.
