Molecular Information Flow and Protein Processing - Genetic Elements: Chromosomes and Plasmids
6 important questions on Molecular Information Flow and Protein Processing - Genetic Elements: Chromosomes and Plasmids
What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes?
- Prokaryotic - single cicular chromosome
- Eukaryotic - composed of two or more chromosomes containing linear DNA
Circular or linear double stranded DNA molecules that replicate separtely from the chromosome and are typically much smaller than chromosomes.
Sequences of DNA that are inserted into other DNA molecules but can move from one site on the DNA molecule to another, on the same molecule or a different one.

- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
It is transcribed to form a single mRNA that encodes several different proteins and is regulated as a unit.
Plasmids that confer resistance to antibiotics or other growth inhibitors
Proteins that inhibit or kill closely related species of bacteria.
