Did the evolution of prokaryotes preceed the evolution of eukaryotes?

Prokaryotes are a lot simpler than eukaryotes so it can be assumed that prokaryotes evolved before eukaryotes.


Why is cell division simpler in prokaryotes than in eukaryotes?

Eukaryotes are about 10 times bigger than eukaryotes, and eukaryotes have nuclei. There's more work to cut a eukaryotic cell in half than in prokaryotes.


Are bacteria and Viruses prokaryotes or eukaryotes?

Bacteria are prokaryotes, viruses are not classified within the six kingdoms of life, and so are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes.


Are viruses a simpler form of life than bacteria?

Yes a virus is simpler than a bacteria. (I only know this because I had a Science test about it just yesterday.)


What does your current evidence tell us about the evolution of prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Prokaryotes are much simpler organisms than eukaryotes. It is thought that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes. In both cases the evolution process was lengthy and similar to the evolution of other organisms.


What are the viruses called that attack prokaryotes?

Bacteriophages


Is some viruses are prokaryotes and some are eukaryotes?

Viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes as they are not living cells and do not have cell structure. They are parasites of living cells.


Are Bacteria and viruses pokaryotes or eukaryotes?

Bacteria are prokaryotes. Viruses are not living organisms, virus is a virus, that is all.


Are viruses prokaryotes eukaryotes or none?

There all eukaryotic and yes the viruses spread fast and duplicate by the bundle.


Are viruses prokaryotes?

First off a prokaryotic organism is a thing that has no nucleus that holds it's genetic material. Viruses are prokaryotes. Their genetic material isn't in a nucleus. It has an inner core that holds its genetic material, and the inner core is protected by the virus's protein coat.


What are the similarities of protists and viruses?

Viruses and Bacteria both have no nucleus. They are also both prokaryotes.


Why do scientists believe that prokaryotes existed earlier than eukaryotes?

Prokaryotic cells are much simpler than eukaryote because they are one cell organisms. They probably were here first because they didn't need as much to survive.
