DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell. Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. To accomplish this, each strand of existing DNA acts as a template for replication.
Origin of replication is formed of about 100-200 or more nucleotides. 4. Replication of DNA occurs at one point in each prokaryotic DNA molecule. 5. Only two replication fork is formed in each replicating prokaryotic chromosome, as DNA replication is bidirectional.
