Eukaryote + Prokaryotes: Similarities and Dffierences

what are the differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes

eukaryotes - 80s ribosomes, nucleus, membrane-bound organelles,

prokaryotes - 70s ribosomes, no nucleus - free nucleotide, no membrane bound organelles

what are the differences in genetic material of eukaryotes and prokaryotes?

eukaryotes - DNA contain introns & exons, DNA bound around histones, no plasmids

prokaryotes - DNA contains only exons, DNA not bound around histones, extra DNA in plasmids

what are the similarities between genetic material of eukaryotes and prokaryotes?

genetic information in the form of DNA

chromosomes

what organelle is present in both?

ribosomes

what are the similarities between binary fission and mitosis?

DNA replicates before cell division

cells divide to produce 2 genetically identical daughter cells

what are the differences between binary fission and mitosis?

binary fission - chromosomes don’t condense before separation, no spindles, no lining up of chromosomes, separated by cell elongation

mitosis - chromosomes condense prior to separation, spindle fibres, chromosomes line up, separated by shortening of spindles, chromosomes separated into chromatids
