The nucleus is something we are debating on Celia's thread too. Although not called a nucleus,
but rather a nucleoid in the prokaryotic cell, how does the organization of genetic material differ
in the prokaryotic cell?
Solution
Ans. The genetic material of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes are chemically the same- being
constituted of A, C, T G nucleotides forming double stranded DNA helix.
However, their organization (from naked DNA to chromosome) differ in following aspects-
I. Eukaryotic DNA is always linear, whereas that of prokaryotes is circular.
II. Eukaryotic DNA is associated with basic histone proteins that facilitates its supercoiling to
30nm fiber.
Prokaryotes lack histone proteins. Instead prokaryotic DNA is associated with various nucleoid-
associated proteins, histone-like proteins and transcription factors that facilitate its condensation
into loosely-packed loops.
III. Eukaryotic genome is housed in a double membrane- bound organelle called the nucleus.
Prokaryotes lack membrane bound organelles including nucleus. The regions of prokaryotic
cytoplasm where genomic DNA is present in condensed form is called nucleoid.
