Is DNA present in both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?

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.


Which organism has the most chromosomes in its cells?

The organism with the most chromosomes in its cells is the marbled lungfish, which has 132 chromosomes.


Compared a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell on the basis of structural?

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.


What is the differences n prokaryotic cells and eukaryoti cells?

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.

What is a unique feature of prokaryotic cells?

Where are the chromosomes of most organisms located?

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.


What is a defining characteristics of a prokaryotic cell?

Most prokaryotic cells, unlike eukaryotic cells, have a string of DNA inside them instead of a nucleus.


How many reproductive cells in most human bodys?

There are 46 chromosomes in most human bodies. They are made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, one of which contains two reproductive cells.


Wheat has 42 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in their body cells?

The 'body' cells have 42 chromosomes. The sex cells would have 21 chromosomes. 3 X 7


What is the most obvious difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic?

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.
