Chromosomal ring of DNA
Eukaryotic cell Prokaryotic cell
Plasmid (ring of DNA)
50 x Smaller 0.2-2μm
50 x Bigger 10-100μm
And small rings of DNA called plasmids
Inside a nucleus
Main differencesProkaryotes:
• SIZE – 50 x smaller than eukaryotes
• Have no membrane bound sub-cellular structures
• Bacteria do not have a nucleus. They do have two types of DNA – plasmid and chromosomal. The chromosomal DNA carries most of the genetic information. Plasmid DNA forms small loops and carries extra information
