COMPARISION :
- The structure and chemical composition of the DNA in both the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are different.
- The prokaryotic cells have no nucleus, no organelles and a very small amount of DNA.
- On the other hand, the eukaryotic cells have nuclei and cell organelles, and the amount of DNA present is large.
- In both prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes, gene expression is facilitated through transcription and translation of genetic information in chromosomes.
- In both Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes, chromosomal DNA undergoes DNA methylation resulting in the structural regulation of gene expression.
- The genetic material in both chromosomal groups contains coding as well as non-coding sequences.
- prokaryotes DNA lacks transposons whereas the Eukaryotic DNA has transposons
- In Prokaryotes DNA replication occurs in cytoplasm but in Eukaryotes DNA replication happens within the nucleus of the cell
