It takes about the same amount of time for eukaryotic chromosomes to be replicated in vivo as it does for E. coli. Why is this true?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. Eukaryotes have multiple origins of replication; E. coli has one unique origin.

  2. Most chromosomes are approximately the same size.

  3. Eukaryotic replication occurs at a faster rate, enabling replication of the larger chromosomes in about the same amount of time.

  4. The replication of DNA in eukaryotes is faster due to a quicker, more accurate repair of mismatches
