| 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. |
