Document Summary
Fall 2018: prokaryotic chromosome and gene structure, bacteria have a single circular chromosome. Most of the information about bacterial transcription, translation and. Figure 1 on the next page shows the locations of the genes on the single circular chromosome. In this tutorial we will focus on transcription: distinguishing prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells, the two basic classes of cells, prokaryotes and eukaryotes, are distinguishable by their internal organization. Most notably: eukaryotic cells possess an array of membrane bound organelles that are absent in prokaryotic cells. For instance, both types of cells share a common genetic language, a common set of metabolic pathways, as: well as many common structural features. These and other similarities support the notion that all cells arose from common: ancestry. Functions: cell structures also participate in complex, multi dimensional processes such as growth, movement, metabolism and reproduction, many cell structures contribute to more than one of these functions.
