    a. Prokaryotes have replicons

    Explanation:

    A replicon is a RNA molecule or DNA molecule that posses its own replication origin and can replicate on its own.

    Prokaryotes only possess a single replicon compared to eukaryotes with several replicons. In other words, the prokaryotes replicon is the whole chromosome, while eukaryotes have a large number of replicons.

    Prokaryotes have fewer types of DNA polymerses, while eukaryotes possess a large range of DNA polymerases which include the five famimilies of DNA polymerases.

    Letter a

    Explanation:

    Due to the simplistic way that prokaryotes organize their genetic material it is only necessary one single replicon in order to duplicate its genome. What is the opposite to Eukaryote organisms which have a highly complex genome and multiple replicons.
