Expert Solution
Introduction :

In eukaryotes, DNA replication is semi-conservative, semi-discontinous and bidirectional whereas in prokaryotes it is  semi-conservative, bidirectional and continuous . The process of replication in living cells requires a set of enzymes and DNA dependent DNA polymerase is the major one.

Initiation of DNA synthesis always requires a smaller segment of RNA called RNA primer.
