Also, whereas bacterial chromosomes are circular, eukaryotic chromosomes are linear. During circular DNA replication ... primer synthesis, and elongation are understood in the most basic sense ...

In eukaryotes ... the strand of DNA, more nucleotides are added to the mRNA, thereby forming a progressively longer chain of nucleotides (Figure 2). This process is called elongation.

We are interested in the mechanism of chromosome replication, a process that is highly conserved across eukaryotes and that involves the duplication of both the chromosomal DNA and its associated ...
