introduction & instructions

1. proteins check for errors
2. starts at one place

lication in living cells
prokaryotes eukaryotes both

Explanation:

1. For "Proteins check for errors": Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have proofreading and mismatch repair proteins that fix errors during DNA replication to maintain genetic integrity.
2. For "Starts at one place": Prokaryotes have a single circular chromosome with one origin of replication, while eukaryotes have linear chromosomes with multiple origins.

Answer:

Description	Prokaryotes	Eukaryotes	Both
3. Starts at one place	X
