- DNA
- Structure the same in all organisms
- Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells store DNA differently
- DNA
- Structure the same in all organisms
- Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells store DNA differently
- Eukaryotic Cells:
- Linear molecules
- Exist as chromo-somes
- Thread-like structures each made of one long DNA molecule
- Very long molecule
- Wound up to fit into nucleus
- Wound around proteins (called histones)
- The histones help support the DNA
- This forms a compact chromo-some
- Exist as chromo-somes
- Associated with proteins
- Linear molecules
- Prokaryotic Cells:
- Also carry DNA as chromo-somes
- But DNA molecules are shorter and circular
- DNA isn't wound around proteins
- Condenses to fit in the cell by supercoiling
- Also carry DNA as chromo-somes
