Document Summary

Most organisms posses two sets of genetic information, one set inherited from each parent. Before cell division, the dna in each chromosome replicates; after replication, there are two copies called sister chromatids of each chromosome. At the end of cell division, it is critical that each new cell receives a complete copy of the genetic material. 2. 1 prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ in a number of genetic. Prokaryotes: a unicellular organism with a relatively simple cell structure, includes at least two fundamentally distinct types of bacteria: the eubacteria (true bacteria) and the archaea (ancient bacteria) Eukaryotes: a compartmentalized cell structure with components bounded by intracellular membranes, either unicellular or multicellular. The packaging of their dna: in eukaryotes, dna is closely associated with a special class of proteins, the histones, to form tightly packed chromosomes. This complex of dna and histone proteins is termed chromatin, which is the stuff of eukaryotic chromosomes.
