Answer:

Ways in which DNA replication is similar in eukaryotes and bacteria:

Replication is semiconservative.

Replication origins serve as starting points for replication.

A short segment of RNA called a primer provides a 3′-OH group for DNA polymerases to begin the synthesis of the new strands.

Synthesis is in the 5′-to-3′ direction.

The template strand is read in the 3′-to-5′ direction.

Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates are the substrates.

Replication is continuous on the leading strand and discontinuous on the lagging strand.

Ways in which eukaryotic DNA replication differs from bacterial replication:

There are multiple origins of replications per chromosome.

Several different DNA polymerases have different functions.

Immediately after DNA replication, nucleosomes are assembled.
