Chapter 6 (GENOME) Flashcards
Cell Cycle Mechanisms
Eukaryotes
Cell Cycle
an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division that produces two new daughter cells
Cell’s Complete Complement DNA
Genome
Prokaryotes Genome
A single, double stranded DNA molecule in form of loop.
Nucleoid
Region in cell containing genetic material
Prokaryotes Small Loops of DNA
Plasmids (not essential for normal growth)
Eukaryotes Genome
Makes up several double-stranded, linear DNA molecules. Bound with proteins to form chromosomes.
