Eukaryotic chromosomes, with multiple linear structures in a nucleus, differ from prokaryotic single circular chromosomes in the cytoplasm, providing evidence of common ancestry.
Les chromosomes eucaryotes, avec leurs multiples chromosomes linéaires contenus dans un noyau, diffèrent des chromosomes procaryotes circulaires uniques dans le cytoplasme, fournissant des preuves d'ascendance commune.
Text | Eukaryotic chromosomes differ from prokaryotic chromosomes, providing evidence of common ancestry for all eukaryotes. Eukaryotes have multiple linear chromosomes capped with telomeres contained in the nucleus, while prokaryotes have a single circular chromosome contained in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic genomes are much larger than prokaryotic genomes. |
