    Comparing to circular bacterial chromosomes, in Eukaryotas replication is unidirectional and there are more than one origins of replication.

    Also in linear chromosome there are telomeres at the end of the chromosomes and there is specific process for their replications and in the

    circular chromosomes, there are no telomeres.
