Eukaryotic genomes overcome the slow synthesis rate by
A) eliminating the need for unwinding the DNA.
B) providing more replication origins.
C) using multiple primases.
D) only replicating part of the DNA in one cycle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic genomes have multiple replication origins that allow for simultaneous replication of multiple segments of DNA, thereby increasing the speed of DNA synthesis. This is in contrast to prokaryotic genomes, which typically have only one replication origin.
