Answer:
The words that complete the sentences are:
- EUKARYOTIC
- MULTIPLE
- CIRCULAR
Explanation:
Replication is the process whereby genetic material is duplicated into two identical copies. It is a key process that must occur prior to any cellular division (mitosis or meiosis). However, DNA replication occurs slightly different in eukaryote and prokaryote.
- Eukaryotic cells are cells that possess a membrane bound nucleus to house their NUMEROUS/MULTIPLE LINEAR chromosomes. On the other hand, prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane bound nucleus to house their SINGLE CIRCULAR chromosome.
- Due to the fact that linear chromosomes of eukaryotes are multiple in number, their replication occurs in MULTIPLE LOCATIONS but that of prokaryotic cells take place in a SINGLE LOCATION.
