The following points highlight the eighteen important characteristics of prokaryotic cells. Characteristic # 1. Nuclear Material: DNA is naked and lies variously coiled in the cytoplasm. It is often called gonophore, nuclear body or nucleoid. It is equivalent to a single naked chromosome and is, therefore, also called prochromosome. Many prokaryotes also have additional small circular DNA entities called plasmids. [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Leucoplasts and Chromoplasts. Difference # Leucoplasts: 1. They are colourless plastids. 2. Leucoplasts usually occur in unexposed parts of plants. 3. Internal lamellae are present. 4. They take part in storage of various substances like starch (amyloplasts), fat (elaioplasts) and protein (aleuroplasts). 5. The shape is more regular, mostly rounded. [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Microfilaments and Microtubules. Difference # Microfilaments: 1. They are contractile. 2. They do not possess longitudinal subunits. 3. Microfilaments are solid structures. 4. Microfilaments are made up of actin protein. 5. The diameter of a microfilament is 6 nm. 6. They occur below cell membrane and at the interphase of [...]
