Solution:

Replication begins at the 'Ori' site, the origin of replication and proceeds on both sides. RNA primers are involved in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes to lay a short stretch of RNA nucleotides of 9-12 to initiate polymerization. In eukaryotes, the telomerase enzyme acts to terminate the replication process.
