    Comparison of genetic information in eukaryotes and prokaryotesAs for the world's organisms, from man to the smallest microbe, they directly reflect biodiversity, in that which concerns appearance, size and expression. . The reason for this is the genetic material present in every cell that makes up every organism. Given that there are two types of cellular organizations in life, comparing “eukaryotic” and “prokaryotic” genomes will provide a better understanding of this diversity. “karyote” refers to the nucleus, and “pro” means “absence” and “eu” means “presence”. Therefore, the words prokaryote and eukaryote reflect individual cellular organization. On the other hand, the two organizations have divergences as well as similarities that ultimately make them unique from each other. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the genomes of eukaryotes and prokaryotes from the perspective of cell biology (The science that studies cells). This comparison is carried out on the genetic material, with regard to its location, its size, its expression, its structure, its architecture as well as its number. Genome localization The localization of genomes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes shows major divergences because they have different levels of cellular organization. Due to the simplicity of prokaryotes, they lack membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus. Therefore, the genomes of prokaryotes reside as an irregular complex of proteins and deoxyribos nucleic acid (DNA) in the cytosol (liquid part of the cytoplasm). This area of ​​the cytoplasm is defined as the “nucleoid” (Bauman.R 2004). Unlike Eukaryotes, it does not have a nuclear envelope. Middle of paper...... In conclusion, the above comparison brings out some facts that should be taken into account for a better understanding of the species. genomes of both organizations. Importantly, the fact that eukaryotes have similarities to prokaryotes could mean that they initially derived from prokaryotes and then became more complex as they advanced. This fact also supports the endosymbiosis theory. And eukaryotic genomes are larger and more repetitive, making them less productive than prokaryotic genes. But given the quantity of genes, eukaryotes are efficient. From an expression perspective, complex eukaryotes must cross physical boundaries and take more time and energy to express their genes. Due to the simplicity of prokaryotes, their genomes are much simpler and stronger than people think..
