In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron is introduced to nuclear fuel such as uranium 235 what happens next?

The 235U fuel releases neutrons, which will continue the chain reaction. It also releases heat, which is carried off in the coolant and (usually) used to generate steam to spin turbines to generate electricity.


In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron is introduced to a nuclear fuel such as uranium what happens next?

If things go according to plan, the neutron encounters a fissionable atomic nucleus and then undergoes what is called neutron capture. That's the next step in the process. The presence of that neutron in the nucleus destabilizes the nucleus (more than it already is as that nucleus is radioactive and unstable anyway). In an extremely short period of time the instability results in nuclear fission. The nucleus splits.

Polar molecules, ions, proteins, and RNA can pass through the nuclear envelope. The smaller particles pass freely while the larger particles can only travel in one direction.


How is the DNA in prokaryotes different form the DNA in eukaryotes?

DNA in a eukaryote is surrounded by a nuclear membrane, hence forming a distinct nucleus whereas the DNA in a prokaryote is not bounded by a nuclear membrane and floats freely in the cytoplasm.
