There are certain regions that are tightly coiled. When the DNA is stained with a dye these regions appear in a dark band and are called hetrochromatin. They are the part of the chromosome that are not actively expressed in the cells. A heterochromatin in one cell may be functional in other cells.

How is eukaryotic chromosomes similar to a prokaryotic chromosome?

Simplified version that an intro biology course would look for: Eukaryotes have multiple pairs of linear chromosomes. The gene-coding sequences are interspersed with non-coding regions that may control gene regulation. Within a gene sequence, there are exons (coding regions) and introns (non-coding regions that will be removed from the mRNA). Prokaryotic chromosomes are tightly wrapped around proteins called histones. Eukaryotic chromosomes are contained in a nucleus. Prokaryotes have 1 circular chromosome, and may have smaller extrachromasomal DNA in the form of plasmids. Prokaryotic DNA does not have the non-coding regions or introns. Bacteria do not have histones, but archaea have histone-like structures associated with their chromosomes. Prokaryotic chromosomes exist in the cytoplasm. Reality about Bacterial Chromosomes: Although many have only the 1 circular chromosome, there are many exceptions to this rule Borrelia burgdoferi (corkscrew-shaped bacteria that causes Lyme Disease) has 17 linear chromosomes and many plasmids.
