Prokaryotes And Eukaryotes Similarities

The organisms first believed to live on Earth were the Prokaryotes. Prokaryotes have many differences and similarities to a Eukaryote. For an example, their names sound similar yet they are not the same so that makes them different. Since there are so many organisms, the organisms are separated into those two broad categories.

Prokaryotes are nearly always a unicellular organisms. An example of a Prokaryote is bacteria and archaea . Prokaryotes do not contain a nucleus or a membrane that should surround the nucleus. They have a cell wall that is chemically complexed. Prokaryotes do not contain a mitchocondria. They contain two protein building blocks which is known as flagella. It has no cytoskeleton.It’s cell division is called binary fission. It’s DNA structure is a single circular chromosome.It has smaller ribosomes. It’s cell size is between 1-10um. Sexual reproduction involves no meiosis and transfer of DNA fragments (Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote, September 2014).
They contain more than one chromosome. Typical cell size is between 10-100um. It’s cell wall is chemically simple and only in plant cells and fungi. It consists of a nucleus and a membrane. It also contains a cytoskeleton. It has larger ribosomes. It’s cell division is called mitosis. It’s DNA structure is multiple linear chromosomes with histones. They have a mitchocondria also. Their sexual reproduction involves meiosis and fusion of
