Replication in prokaryotes differs from replication in eukaryotes for which of the following reasons?
| 1. | Prokaryotic chromosomes have histones, whereas eukaryotic chromosomes do not. |
| 2. | Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication, whereas eukaryotic chromosomes have many. |
| 3. | The rate of elongation during DNA replication is slower in prokaryotes than in eukaryotes. |
| 4. | Prokaryotes produce Okazaki fragments during DNA replication, but eukaryotes do not. |
