The DNA molecule is often referred to as “The Blueprint of life”. Discuss. [SEP‚ 1999] Synopsis DNA structure Why is DNA called “blueprint” Features of the genetic code ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a vital component of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. A blueprint is a detailed drawing or map which identifies and directs the construction and development of a building or an object. DNA is the hereditary

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

According to the website www.tutorvista.com‚ Prokaryotes differ from eukaryotes in their structure‚ packing‚ density‚ and arrangement of their genes on the chromosome. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts‚ the cell wall‚ and the structure of chromosomal DNA. All cells share some common characteristics that make them living things and all organisms are composed of cells which are the basic fundamental unit of life. Also

their cellular arrangement: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Approximately 3.5 billion centuries in the past‚ prokaryotic organisms conquered our world. Afterwards‚ around 1.5 billion centuries ago‚ a nucleated cell named eukaryote evolved then the Cambrian blast‚ in the vicinity of 0.5 billion centuries ago‚ aided in the development of multicellular entities. The cell partitions of prokaryotes are normally designed of a dissimilar molecule to that of eukaryotes. Furthermore‚ they are different

and nucleic acids. I will explain what they do and what they are made of. Carbohydrates are in foods‚ some examples are sugars and starch. The structure of a carb is ring shaped‚ it is an easy one to know. The monomer of a carb is monosaccharide‚ which means one sugar. A monosaccharide consists of glucose‚ fructose and galactose. Carbs help give the body energy and help with storage. That is how Carbs help your body. Lipids are made up of fats‚ butter oils and other things like that. An easy way

Cell Biology 1 – Prokaryotes & Viruses * Eukaryotes have a membrane whereas a prokaryote has no nuclear membranes. Both have a double stranded DNA. * The two main types of prokaryotes are bacteria and Archaea and eukarya are types of eukaryotes. * Archaea are more closely related to eukaryotes. * Prokaryotes have a membrane and nucleoid and most have a cell wall. * There are 3 main types of shapes of prokaryotes: * Bacillus – rod shapes * Spirilum – spiral shaped
