The number varies greatly between species.
The simplest answer is that prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane-bound nucleus, and eukaryotic cells do. The nucleus is a compartment where the cell stores its genetic information (DNA). Prokaryotes' DNA is simply within the cytoplasm. Another simple difference is that eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles, whereas prokaryotes lack this feature.
23 Pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes.
The 'body' cells have 42 chromosomes. The sex cells would have 21 chromosomes. 3 X 7
HeLa cells are known to have a triploid karyotype, which means they have three sets of chromosomes instead of the usual two sets found in diploid cells. This results in HeLa cells having around 69-82 chromosomes.
No, prokaryotic cells do not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells that play a role in energy production through aerobic respiration. Prokaryotic cells generate energy through processes like glycolysis or fermentation.
Yes, DNA is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, DNA is found in a circular form in the nucleoid region, while in eukaryotic cells, DNA is located in the nucleus and organized into linear chromosomes.
The organism with the most chromosomes in its cells is the marbled lungfish, which has 132 chromosomes.
Prokaryotic is much smaller and unicellular. All bacterias are prokaryotic while eukaryotic cells are in plants and animals. Prokaryotic cells do not contain membrane bound organelles which means that they do not have most of the organelles that a normal eukaryotic cells have. Its nucleus also has no membrane which means that their DNA is not only exposed out in the open, it is also not coiled into chromosomes.
The simplest answer is that prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane-bound nucleus, and eukaryotic cells do. The nucleus is a compartment where the cell stores its genetic information (DNA). Prokaryotes' DNA is simply within the cytoplasm. Another simple difference is that eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles, whereas prokaryotes lack this feature.
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes that most cells in the organism have. Most human cells have 46 chromosomes, but eggs and sperm have 23 chromosomes each.

they do not have a membrane-enclosed nucleus
The chromosomes of most organisms are located within the cell's nucleus. This is where genetic material is housed and organized in the form of DNA. Through cell division, chromosomes ensure genetic information is passed on to the next generation.
Most prokaryotic cells, unlike eukaryotic cells, have a string of DNA inside them instead of a nucleus.
There are 46 chromosomes in most human bodies. They are made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, one of which contains two reproductive cells.
The 'body' cells have 42 chromosomes. The sex cells would have 21 chromosomes. 3 X 7
The most obvious difference is the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus in eukaryotic cells, which is absent in prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells also typically have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not. Additionally, eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.
