B) DNA polymerases of prokaryotes can add nucleotides to both 3' and 5' ends of DNA strands while those of eukaryotes function only in a 5'->3' direction

C) DNA replication in prokaryotic cells is conservative. DNA replication in eukaryotic cells is semi-conservative

D) prokaryotic replication does not require a primer


Answer: A) Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication while eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication
