Question

Explain why DNA replication is more complex in eukaryotes than in bacteria.

Answer 1

It is basically because Euckaryotic cells are more complex than Bacteria, thus more stages are to be completed when it comes to DNA and Molecular Genetics dynamics.

Eukayotes carry membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus whether they are single celled or multi cellular organisms. In Bacteria on the other hand membrane-bound organelles and/or nucleus are not available; making them simpler organisms; so when the DNA replication process happens it's easier to produce a replica of a Bacteria than it is for an Eukariotic cell.

Answer 2

The extra step of dissolving the nucleus is needed during DNA replication in a eukaryotic cell, whereas bacteria are prokaryotic and therefore don't have a nucleus so they don't need this extra step.
