How are the structures prokaryotic chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes alike?

Chromosomes are only in eukariyotes.Can not be seen in prokariyotes.


How is Eukaryotic DNA organized?

Eukaryotic DNA is organized into chromosomes within the nucleus. DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which further condense into chromatin fibers. These chromatin fibers coil and fold to compact into X-shaped structures called chromosomes during cell division.


A type of protein found in eukaryotic chromosomes but not prokayotic chromosomes is?

This type of protein is a histone.


Which contains chromosomes?

Chromosomes are the molecules of DNA (inheritable genetic material) in each of your cells. Human cells are eukaryotic meaning that they have membrane bound organelles. The chromosomes in eukaryotic cells are enclosed within a nuclear membrane, collectively known as the nucleus. The nucleus is one of the organelles inside a eukaryotic cell.


How does the structure of chromosomes in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells affect the DNA replication processes in a cell?

In prokaryotic cells, which have a single circular chromosome, replication initiates at a single origin of replication and proceeds bidirectionally until the entire chromosome is copied. In contrast, eukaryotic cells have multiple linear chromosomes that replicate from multiple origins of replication simultaneously. The linear nature of eukaryotic chromosomes poses challenges during replication, such as the need to overcome end-replication problem and preserving telomeres.

Are chromosomes found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells?

Chromatids in eukaryotic cells separate during which process?

Chromatids in eukaryotic cells separate during the process of mitosis or meiosis. In mitosis, chromatids separate during anaphase to form individual chromosomes, while in meiosis, chromatids separate during anaphase II to produce haploid daughter cells.


What are the key differences between prokaryotic chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes in terms of structure and organization?

Prokaryotic chromosomes are simpler and circular, found in the cytoplasm, while eukaryotic chromosomes are more complex and linear, found in the nucleus. Eukaryotic chromosomes are organized with histone proteins into chromatin, while prokaryotic chromosomes lack histones.


Are chromosomes found inside the mitochondria?

Yes. Mitochondria contain their own chromosomes (separate from the main ones in the nucleus). They are not involved in the main processes of the cell.

The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more what than do the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells?

The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more DNA than the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes usually only have 1 circular chromosome and no "junk DNA", while eukaryotes are multi-chromosomal.
