- have introns (non coding DNA)
- have exons (coding DNA)
- in nucleus
- has multiple molecules
- mitosis and meiosis production
- larger ribosomes
Prokaryotes are
- circular shaped
- naked
- no introns
- in the cytosol
- single molecule
- replicate via binary fusion
- no genetic variation
- smaller ribosomes
- mainly bacteria
