What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic dna mechanisms?

DNA replication mechanismsWhat is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic dna mechanisms?
Prokaryotic cells have 1 origin of dna replication where as eukaryotic cells can have 100 or 1000 origin points. Also eukaryotic cells DNA becomes shorter ea time after replication due to the RNA primer being removal. Thus creating the new lagging strand for the next set of DNA replication. Prokaryotic cells dont have this problem because theiir DNA is circular I hope this is what your looking for!!!
