Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes require double-stranded DNA as the template for replication, four kinds of dNTPs (deoxynucleotide triphosphate) as the building blocks for new DNA strands, primers to initiate replication, and origins of replication to start the process. Topoisomerases, telomerases, and nucleosome loosening are specific to eukaryotic DNA replication. G-C rich regions and chromosome nicks are not essential for replication, and four rNTPs (ribonucleotide triphosphate) are not required for DNA replication. Ligase and nucleases are involved in DNA repair, but not replication.
