Chapter 8, Problem 1.1SC
Compare and contrast chromosomes in prokaryotes and cukaryotes
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To contrast: The chromosomes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Introduction: The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the hereditary material that transmits the genetic information from one generation to the next generation. It consists of two strands of polynucleotide chains that are wind around each other to form double helix. It is composed of nucleotides, sugar, and phosphate.
Explanation of Solution
The chromosomes are the threadlike structure that are found in the nucleus and contains hereditary material in the form of genes. The difference between the chromosomes of prokaryotes and eukaryotes are described as follows:
