    Introduction/Background: Transcription in eukaryotes is one of the most vital processes of life that involves a highly controlled and regulated systematic series of events that is mediated through various key factors. The process of transcription occurs when the genetic information stored within DNA becomes activated through the synthesis of complementary mRNA and is thus regulated by RNA polymerases. There are three types of RNA polymerases that distinctively transcribe a specified set of genes

    part of the prokaryotic domain. However many see them as a evolutionary step in between, as prokaryotic relatives to eukaryotes. (x) Since their evolutionary history remains very unclear, it is hard to classify them belonging to a group of their own or belonging to either prokaryotes or eukaryotes. In 1977, Woese suggested dividing cells into three new domains; archaea, eukaryotes and prokaryotes. (x) Before this cells were divided into two main groups: prokaryotic cells, and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic

    organisms, nematodes can still survive in deep subsurface at a high temperature conditions of extreme hypoxia, which can be regarded as an evolution of Eukaryotes and also implies that the surface of other planets such as Mars in the solar system may exist organisms (Borgonie et al. 2011). Since the genetic resemblance of Prokaryotes is much lower than Eukaryotes and the gene isolation of Prokaryotes may take longer time to complete, the number of Prokaryotes we predicted

    Electron transport chain in the eukaryotes start in the intermembrane(cristae)of the mitochondria. Multiple copies are present in this inner membrane of mitochondria. This is also where oxidative phosphorylation occurs as the electron transport chain establishes a proton gradient by moving electrons from NADH and FADH2 to molecular oxygen. The four protein complexes labeled I through IV along with associated electron carriers move electrons from one component to the next quickly until the end of

    (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) and genetic codes are found, as well as the presence of other organelles which are bigger in eukaryotes, such as mitochondria. Also, eukaryotes can be considered structurally advanced as its organelles are enclosed by a membrane, making it larger in size and stronger compared to a prokaryote. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have the ability of movement, but the eukaryotes is more complex. Although, the eukaryotic cell is more structurally advanced to that of a prokaryotic cell, prokaryotes

    extensive similarities between the two domains, such as their manner of gene expression, their fundamental metabolic pathways, as well as their lack of membrane bound organelles, and compartmentalisation. Due to the cellular compartmentalisation that eukaryotes exhibit, as well as more complex modes of metabolism and replication, prokaryotes are generally considered to be the precursors to eukaryotic cells. One of the other defining characteristics of eukaryotic cells that allow for multicellularity to

    Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. Although with biologists learning to understand the system, another category was added known as Domain- this was categorized above Kingdom. This is because biologists recognized the differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes, which were once part of the five kingdoms alongside plantar, animalia and fungi. However having them part of the Kingdom category proved to be difficult. Thus the inclusion of three domains occurred - bacteria, archaea and eukarya

    Without the cells there will be no life. A cell is the the building block of the body. There 2 different types of cells there are animal cell and plants cells. Eukaryote is any cell that has a cell membrane bound. It also contains organelles. Eukaryotes include all living animal organisms other than the eubacteria and archaea. The eukaryote has a nucleus membrane that surrounds the nucleus in which the way they defined the

    system. They are both amazingly various in structures. Diferences: Eukaryotes have a core, while prokaryotes don't. .Eukaryotes have layer bound organelles, while prokaryotes don't. The organelles of eukaryotes permit them to show much more elevated amounts of intracellular division of work than is conceivable in prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are, all things considered, ten times the extent of prokaryotic cells. The DNA of eukaryotes is a great deal more intricate and along these lines substantially

    phospholipids and proteins. The plasma membrane also functions as the selective boundary of the cell. Unlike a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell has a nucleus. The nucleus is responsible for the storage and the protection of the DNA of the cell. Most eukaryotes possess a endomembrane system. The endomembrane consists of a endoplasmic reticulum, the golgi apparatus, and vesicles. The endomembrane makes lipids and membrane proteins and sends them where they need to go in the cell. Mitochondria are important
