Cell can make more cells via two processes. The first is called mitosis: a process which creates two identical cells. Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells can undergo mitosis. The second is meiosis: a process which produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing eukaryotes. When a cell becomes cancerous, one or more mechanisms in the cell that control mitosis breaks down. This occurs due to a mutation in the cell's DNA. The genes in which a cancer-causing mutation can occur are either called proto-oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes. When such a mutation occurs in a proto-oncogene they become activated and become oncogenes. The product of oncogenes promote uncontrolled mitosis, hence the name onco(cancer)-gene. Again, as the name suggests, tumour suppressor genes have some role in suppressing cancer. Tumour suppressor genes are regulators of mitosis. When a cancer causing mutation occurs in a tumour suppressor gene, the product of the gene becomes disfunctional or are not produced altogether.
There are more prokaryotic cells than eukaryotic cells in the human body. The human body is home to trillions of bacteria, which are prokaryotic cells, residing mostly in the gut. Eukaryotic cells, which make up human cells, account for a smaller percentage overall.
There are quite a few differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do. Prokaryotic cells are not found in humans while eukaryotic cells are. Prokaryotic cells are primitive while eukaryotic cells are much more evolved.
eukaryotic cells have a nucleus that holds their DNA. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus and their DNA floats around the cell. Eukaryotic cells generally have a lot more DNA than prokaryotic cells because prokaryotic cells are a lot less complicated than their counterpart.
False. Eukaryotic cells generally contain more DNA than prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have their DNA enclosed within a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells have their DNA located in the cytoplasm.
Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are enclosed in membranes

Eukaryotic cells are more complex then prokaryotic cells. This is because they are larger in size and have membrane bound organelles. They are have an enclosed nucleus.
Eukaryotic
Eukaryotic cells are generally larger than prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure with membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells lack these organelles. This allows eukaryotic cells to grow larger in size.
eukaryotic cells have a nucleus that holds their DNA. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus and their DNA floats around the cell. Eukaryotic cells generally have a lot more DNA than prokaryotic cells because prokaryotic cells are a lot less complicated than their counterpart.
it means that it is made of simple cells and eukaryotic means that it is made of more complex cells
False. Eukaryotic cells generally contain more DNA than prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have their DNA enclosed within a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells have their DNA located in the cytoplasm.
genes
Eukaryotic cells are typically larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells, so they usually weigh more. The additional organelles, such as mitochondria and nucleus, contribute to the increased weight of eukaryotic cells compared to prokaryotic cells.
