Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes require double-stranded DNA, 4 kinds of dNTPs, primers, and origins for replication. However, topoisomerases and telomerase are specific to eukaryotes and not required by prokaryotes. G-C rich regions and chromosome nicks may be involved in replication but are not necessary for replication itself. Nucleosome loosening and rNTPs are specific to eukaryotes and not required by prokaryotes. Ligase and nucleases are involved in DNA repair but not necessarily in replication.
