We had thought the nucleus is made up of tightly wrapped proteins called histones which form chromosomes. “New research shows that not only the the chromosomes contain 25,000 or more genes it contains also a mysterious structure scientists have found a sheet-like structure that occupies the 47% of the chromosome” (BEC Crew). For the last century, we thought the cell nucleus was made of complex DNA and histone proteins. The reason we did not know much about the cell nucleus is because the chromosomes
UCLEUS - Nucleus is the largest cell organelle, the nucleus is covered with a nuclear envelope, also one or more nucleoli can be found in the nucleus, inside the nucleus is the long molecules of DNA all these structure is connected with it performance. Nucleus being the largest cell organelle controls all the cells activities with the help of genetic material in the DNA. CELL MEMBRANE- The cell membrane surrounds the cytoplasm which is the watery part of the cell, is characterized as semi
Describe the similarities and differences between the cytokinesis mechanisms found in animal cells versus those in plant cells. The Cell Cycle Cell division has always been a critical event in the formation of new eukaryotic cells. Once small deviation and cancer, abnormalities, and mutations, etc. can arise. The cell cycle includes two distinct staging areas, interphase and the mitotic phase. Interphase is divided into G1, S, and G2 phases, while the mitotic phase incorporates two stages, mitosis
Prokaryotic cells are different than eukaryotic cells in many ways. Prokaryotic cell means before the nucleus and eukaryotic cell means possessing a true nucleus, emphasizing that a prokaryotic cell doesn’t have a nucleus and a eukaryotic cell do. Other differences are the types of organelles. Prokaryotic cells have free floating D.N.A. and eukaryotic cells have it enclosed in the nucleus. Also prokaryotic cells have the ribosomes by themselves while eukaryotic cells usually are ether free or attached
Eukaryotic cells and bacterial cells share some similarities, however, also contribute many differences due to the size difference between the two different cells. Due to the size difference between eukaryotic and bacterial cells, structural characteristics such as the presence of a nucleus, mitochondria, endomembrane system, cytoskeleton, membrane-bounded organelles, and number of chromosomes occur. All bacteria are one-celled organisms. There is no form of bacteria that contains a nucleus. However
that sets eukaryotic cells apart from prokaryotic cells is the nucleus, or nuclear envelope, within which the genetic material is contained. The prokaryotes are a group of organisms whose cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus (karyon). Those organisms whose cells have a well-defined membrane bound nucleus and organelles are called eukaryotes. Eukaryote cells are larger in diameter than prokaryote cells. Eukaryotes have a true nucleus and membrane enclosed organelles. The cell walls of prokaryotes are
Eukaryotic cells and bacterial cells share some similarities, however, also contribute many differences due to the size difference between the two different cells. Due to the size difference between eukaryotic and bacterial cells, structural characteristics such as the presence of a nucleus, endomembrane system, cytoskeleton, membrane-bounded organelles, number of chromosomes, and differences in cell walls occur.

but there are millions of cells and microorganisms all around us! Cells are the smallest units of life. They are the basis for all life on earth. Every living thing on Earth contains cells. Cells show all six characteristics of life: growth, regulation of systems, response to the environment, reproduction, a complex system of parts, and energy transfer. Every cell has their own job or function. Some living organisms can have just one cell, while others can have many cells. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes
proteins and every protein provide an essential biological function. Also, cells make up tissues, organs, and body systems. Body systems interact with each other to maintain homeostasis. To start, let 's talk about what DNA actually is. DNA looks like a long spiral staircase. That structure is called a double helix. DNA is located in the nucleus of a cell. The nucleus is generally in the center of a cell. A typical cell nucleus is so small that ten thousand could fit on the tip of a needle. One strand
Cells are divided into two classes, prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are simpler in structure than eukaryotic cells, but are not necessarily inferior. While both types of cells have some similarities, they are also different in many ways. Eukaryotes have a nucleus enveloped in a membrane, whereas prokaryotes do not. Eukaryotes also have many organelles inside their membranes, but prokaryotes do not. These cells can be infected by agents known as viruses. Viruses, like the HIV virus,
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes each express their gene regulation in differently. The structure of the the cells are not the same so the genes expression are not the same. Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes have things that are the same in their process of gene expression. Since prokaryote cell’s do not have a nucleus, gene expression happen in the cytoplasm for them. Prokaryotes genes are transcribed on the lac operon.The lac operon functions under the promoter, which is how the lac operon gets transcribed
discuss cells and the function along with the structure for each of these processes. I will also discuss the process of osmosis, mitosis, also the process of differentiation, alongside how cancer cells configure. There are many differences between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell, the main identifiable differences being that a eukaryotic cell has a nucleus whereas the eukaryotic cell lives in living things such as animals, and plants. Another main difference between the two cells is the presence
prokaryotic cell is a bacteria cell, the beginning ‘’pro’’ means ‘’before a nucleus.’’ Eukaryotic cells are either plant or animal cells, and the beginning ‘’eu’’ means ‘’possessing a true nucleus.’’ This means prokaryotic cells have no nucleus while eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus. Another difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that prokaryotic cells always have a cell wall while only plant eukaryotic cells have cell walls. The larger, more complex cells are eukaryotic cells because
1. Prokaryotes are single-celled and have no nucleus. Therefore, prokaryotes don’t contain any membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotes are more complex and they do have a nucleus. Therefore, eukaryotic cells do have membrane bound organelles. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA. 2. The glycocalyx is made up of a glycoprotein-polysaccharide and it covers the cell membrane of a bacterial cell. The slime layer helps the bacteria to stick and adhere
1. The difference between Eukaryotes, Prokaryotes, and Archaea is that they do not all have a nucleus. They are also different because they are broken down in different ways; prokaryotes and Eukaryotes have different Domains. Domain Archaea and Bacteria are Prokaryotes. While Eukarya are Eukaryotes and can be categorized into one of the four kingdoms. They all are also not just unicellular; prokaryotes and Archaea are but Eukaryotes can be multicellular. Differences between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
this flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to mRNA to protein, which means the information from DNA is encoded to mRNA that in turn encodes information to protein (OpenStax, 2013 p. 216). There are two processes that make up central dogma. Transcription is the first process in which DNA encodes mRNA and translation is the second process where the mRNA encodes the protein to complete DNA replication in a cell. Transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell and consists of three main stages
DNA Replication DNA was first discovered in the 1860s by Friedrich Miescher and name nuclein, due to the recovery of these chemicals from the nucleus of a cell (Biology, 2015). DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is a unique, hereditary, chemical present in most living organisms. DNA presents in two distinct areas in the body; the majority existing in the nucleus as nuclear DNA, with a minor amount in the mitochondria, mtDNA. DNA consists of four main chemical bases, i.e. adenine, cytosine, guanine, and
REGULATION OF GENE EXPRESSION AND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EUKARYOTES AND PROKARYOTES IN THIS PROCESS Every day in our body and each cell there are a wide range of mechanisms that helps the cell to survive and also helps the organisms to survive as well. The part of these mechanisms is increasing and decreasing the production of specific gene products (either proteins or RNA), and is known as gene regulation. Moreover this process is happening in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, but there are some
coiled and uncoiled. 2. Chromosomes in Nucleus. 3. Multiple origins of replication 4. multiple replication bubbles. 5. Speed 50 base pairs / sec 6. Okasaki fragments shorter 100 base pair long. 7. Fewer mutations 8. Telomeras
Mitotic Cell Cycle All living organisms have several mechanisms that allow cell survival/ life continuity and reproduction. A major role in eukaryotic survival is attached to the cell cycle. It comprises of 2 major phases and in a typical human cell it lasts for approximately 24 hours. The first phase is identified as synthesis (S) phase whereas the second is mitotic (M) phase. Between those phases, 2 gap phases occur (G1 and G2). During the gap phases time delay happens, thus allowing cells to grow
