How do the replication speeds and fragment sizes differ between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA replication?
Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes replicate at 2000 base pairs per second but differ in the fragment sizes.
Prokaryotes replicate 2000 base pairs per second with large Okazaki fragments; eukaryotes replicate slower at 100 base pairs per second with small Okazaki fragments.
Both replicate at 100 base pairs per second, but eukaryotes produce larger fragments.
Eukaryotic replication is faster and produces larger Okazaki fragments than prokaryotic replication.
