besides the fact that most DNA is encased in a protective membrane, probably the most significant difference is that prokaryote DNA does not have introns and exons nor is it in a diploid state.

What is the difference between autosome and chromosomes?

Autosomes are any chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes, while chromosomes are the structures in a cell that contain genetic material. Sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex, while autosomes contain genes that determine other traits.


What is a difference between a typical animal cell and a bacterial cell?

The main difference between an animal cell and a bacterial cell is that a bacterial cell contains a plasmid, a ring of DNA, opposed to the chromosomes that animal cells possess. There are other differences, such as size (bacterial cells are many times smaller) and whether or not they contain membrane bound organelles, which bacteria do not. Bacteria cells have also flagella/flagellum that an animal cells (except spermatozoa or sperm cells) does not, a "tail" strand that extends out of the cell to propel it forward.


Where would you find the bacterial chromosomes?

Bacterial chromosomes are located in the nucleoid region of the bacterial cell, which is a region within the cytoplasm where the genetic material is found. It is not enclosed within a nucleus like in eukaryotic cells.


What is the major differences between a bacterial cell and the cell of other organisms?

All bacterial cells do not have a nucleus but the cells of other animal have nucleus which is usually spherical or oval in shape inside it there are chromosomes that form a dense tangle referred to as chromatin.

What is the main difference between meiosis and mitosis?

The main difference between meiosis and mitosis is that meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes, while mitosis is a type of cell division that produces identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
