Replication in Prokaryotes: Key Enzyme, Initiation, Elongation, Termination, DNA Polymerase
All living cells require replication of their genetic material before they undergo division. This is referred to as DNA replication, and it guarantees that all new cells will receive a complete and exact copy of their genetic information. DNA replication in prokaryotes like bacteria occurs very efficiently, rapidly, and with remarkable accuracy in spite of the relative simplicity of their genomes. ☰ Table of Contents − What is DNA Replication?
