Identify differences in structure between prokaryotic chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes.

-A prokaryotic chromosome consists of a single molecule of DNA, circular in shape. A prokaryotic cell also only has one chromosome. -A eukaryotic cell has more than one chromosome. It is also linear, not circular, in other words it has two ends. Each chromosome contains one molecule of DNA for the first half or so of interphase, then the DNA replicates, and the two DNA molecules remain together (as sister-chromatids) in the same chromosome for the rest of interphase. This does not happen in prokaryotic cells. -prokaryotic chromosomes consist only of a naked DNA molecule, but eukaryotic chromosomes also contain many molecules of proteins (mostly histones). The DNA is wound around these proteins.

interphase

The time between cell division, which is one phase of the cell cycle, but has three stages- G1, S, and G2.
