Chapter 18.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The evolutionary processes that might have account for prokaryotes having smaller genome than the eukaryotes.
Introduction:
The eukaryotes are the organisms that have a true nucleus which means that their nucleus is surrounded by a membrane. Their other cell organelles are also membrane bound. They can be single celled or multicellular. The prokaryotes are the organisms that lack membrane bound organelles such as bacteria.

3. In the evolution of the eukaryotic cell, these cells have key changes that include which of the following: a) These cells reproduce by copying their DNA perfectly each generation. b) They have their DNA in the nucleoid area. c) have adapted the mesosome membrane system of the prokaryote to form a nucleus and an endoplasmic reticulum. d) each new type on new eukaryote cell has its own mesosomes e) none of these are true.
4. The evolution/development of the skeletal system found in the Deuterostomes, is made up of two molecules, Ca+2PO4-2 and collagen These molecules are produced released from by a specialized type of stem cell. Therefore, one would expect that these stem cells perform which…

Question: Evolution of Prokaryote into the Eukaryote cell type.
A. What are the significant the significant changes that are represented in the evolution of the prokaryote cell type into the eukaryote cell.
B. Why are these changes (major differences) important in the process of evolution of more complex organisms?

Although cells have some basic parts in common, there are some important differences. The way that cells store their DNA is the main difference between the two cell types. Prokaryotic A prokaryote (proh-KAIR-ee.oht) is a single- celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Its DNA is located in the cytoplasm. Prokaryotic cells contain organelles called ribosomes that do not have a membrane. Some prokaryotic cells have hairlike structures called flagella that help them move. Prokaryotes, which include all bacteria and archaea, are smaller than eukaryotes.
