The chromosome would first unravel into supercoils, which would unravel into helical fibers. Then, the coils would unravel into clusters of histones and a single DNA molecule.

What organelle is similar to the Water Tower?

It is only similar to chloroplasts found in plants. It is thought that the mitochondria might have originated from early bacteria that became so symbiotic with their hosts, the eukaryotic cells, that they evolved and become indispensable energy-yielding structures within the eukaryotic cells (endosymbiotic theory).


What supports the idea that eukaryotic cells evolved after prokaryotic cells?

In a basic sense, eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells in their shape, function, differentiation and speciation. One theory that strongly supports eukaryotic evolution from prokaryotic cells is in the mitochondria. Mitochondria actually has its own DNA that is passed from generation to generation, The structure of the mitochondria is very similar to a basic prokaryotic cell, and some research has even indicated that the mito-DNA is actually similar to old bacterial DNA. This supports that perhaps at one point, a eukaryotic cell injested a bacterial cell, and instead of digesting it, the bacterium just stayed inside the euklaryotic cell and the two became one (this is a gross oversimplification, but the general idea remains the same).


What were the characteristic of mitocondria and chloroplast that caused scientists to hypothosize that they were originaly prokaryotic cells that were engulfed by early eukaryotic cells?

Following characteristics of mitochondria and chloroplast led Margulis (1983) and other scientists to hypothesized that mitochondria and chloroplast were Bacteria and Cyanobacteria that were engulfed by Amoeboid Eucaryotic cells and became symbiotic organelles. 1; Both mitochondria and chloroplast (M&C) are self replicating. 2; Both possess small circular DNA molecule similar to Plasmids. 3; Both possess an outer membrane similar to eukaryotic cell membrane. 4; Both possess an inner membrane simillar to prokaryotic cell membrane as it lacks sterols. 5; Both possess ribosome similar to prokaryotes and smaller than eukaryotic ribosomes. 6; Both produce their own m RNA and some proteins . 7; Both can produce their own ATP. 8; Both are semidependent on animal or plant cell. this hypothesis is called Endosymbiont hypothesis,

During what era were the first one-celled organisms formed?

During the Archean Eon life started and was dominated by one-celled prokaryotic life forms. Eukaryotic one-celled organisms became dominant in the Proterozoic Eon. Multicellular organisms ruled the planet during the eon known as the Phanerozoic.

Are bactirial cells larger than plant and animal cells?

No - quite the opposite. Eukaryotic cells (which include plant and animal cells) are vastly larger than prokaryotic cells (i.e. bacteria) - several orders of magnitude larger. The precise relation in size varies, but to give you a sense of the relative scales it is thought that some Eukaryotic cell organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) are actually derived from ancient prokaryotes who developed such a close symbiotic relationship with ancient eukaryotic cells that they became assimilated as a component. So, when you see a picture of an animal or plant cell where mitochondria and choloroplasts are shown, that's roughly the size of a prokaryotic cell relative to a eukaryotic cell.


Who first identified Saturn's rings?

Galileo Galilei was the first to observe Saturn's rings in 1610, but was unable to identify them as such.Christiaan Huygens became the first person to suggest that Saturn was surrounded by a ring in 1655.

Which planet was first seen by Galileo in 1610. He described it as the planet with ears?

Galileo described Saturn as having "ears" after he became the first person to observe it through a telescope. The existence of Saturn was known for thousands of years before Galileo.
