In prokaryotes most or all of their genetic information is stored in one long, circular chromosome instead of multiple rod- shaped chromosomes. These rings are replicated pretty much the same as eukaryotic DNA. The only real difference is that here only two replication forks are used. While eukaryotes had many replication sites in action at once. Prokaryotes work quickly in that only two, one working in each direction around the ring, are needed.

Eukaryotes reflect their DNA in the course of the S-portion of mitosis which occurs in Interphase (G1) of mitosis. Euk DNA replication makes use of the spindle to split the chromosomes and the prok's do not. Prokaryotes reflect their DNA in the course of cellular branch. that's becauses prok's reflect by binary fission, so the replicated DNA attaches to the plasma membrane and is pulled aside because the cellular elongates. The plasma membrane grows inward to form a wall and 2 separate cells. desire that helped!

I don't know if the previous post was spam or not, but check out the links below. Basically the process is exactly the same, but different proteins mediate it. The proteins that mediate the process in Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes have similar function and structures, just different names.
