PCR = primer made of DNA, whereas in DNA replication, the primers are made of RNA.
PCR = both new (daughter) strands of DNA are formed continuously, whereas in DNA replication, one strand (the leading strand) is formed continuously, but the other strand (the lagging strand) is formed discontinuously in (Okazaki) fragment
