Lecture, Chapter 5 - DNA replication

We continued covering chapter 5, on DNA replication. We finished talking about DNA replication in prokaryotes, topic in which students should have an understanding of the replication fork, including the functioning of all the enzymes involved in the process.

We started talking about DNA replication in eukaryotes, organisms in which some differences are found, mainly because of the linearity of chromosomes. In prokaryotes chromosomes are circular.
