BIOC17H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Endoplasmic Reticulum, Nuclear Membrane, Nuclear Dna
Document Summary
Prokaryotic cell is simpler than the eukaryotic cell. Genome size is variable in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Both: plasma membrane, nuclear dna, ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell wall. Eukaryotic cell: cilium, cytoskeleton, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, golgi body, secretory vesicle, mitochondria, nuclear envelope. 3 to 5 x106 kb per haploid genome. Plants > animals > fungus > bacteria > chloroplast/mitochondria > viral genomes/plasmid genomes. Viral and plasmid genomes are the same size because it is due to species specific exchanges of genetic material between nucleus and organelles. Double stranded dna is organized into chromosomes: each chromosome contains a single double stranded piece of dna. Mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes: most are double stranded dna, some are single stranded circular lacking nucleosome structure, have less dna compared to nuclear genome. 580 kb and 760 kb) (smallest eubacterial genome: eubacterial or cyanobacterial chromosomes have an approximate of 10-20% associated with the.
