Document Summary

Cell division in eukaryotes takes place through mitosis and meiosis. Prokaryotes include at least two fundamentally different types of bacteria: eubacteria (true bacteria, archaea (ancient bacteria) Eubacteria and archaea are as distantly related as they are to eukaryotes. Transcription in archaea is more similar to eukaryotes. Eukaryotes have a nuclear envelope: forms a nucleus and separated dna from other cell contents. Eukaryotic dna is closely associated with histones to form chromatin. Histones enable to dna to fit in the nucleus but make it harder for enzymes and proteins to copy and read the dna. Eukaryotic dna has to separate from the histones before genetic information can be accessed. Archaea also have histone complexes but structure of chromatin is different. Genes in prokaryotes on a single circular dna molecule. Genes in eukaryotes found on many linear dna strands: require mechanisms to ensure that each chromosome is copied. A few bacteria have more than one chromosome.
