As this method is efficacious in biological materials for which genetic operation was difficult, it has been used mainly for higher eukaryotes such as animals and plants.

Autophagy is the «self - eating» process of consuming unwanted elements in the cells of eukaryotes such as yeast, humans and plants.

Autophagy is the «self - eating» process of consuming the portion of intracellular proteins in the cells of eukaryotes such as yeast, humans and plants.

In eukaryotes such as animals and plants, DNA is stored inside the cell nucleus, while in prokaryotes such as bacteria and archaea, the DNA is in the cell's cytoplasm.

Not exact matches

Patrick Forterre of the University of Paris - Sud has also analyzed enzymes responsible for DNA replication and has concluded that the genes for such enzymes in eukaryotes probably have a viral origin.

The advent of the nucleus — which differentiates eukaryotes (organisms whose cells contain a true nucleus), including humans, from prokaryotes, such as bacteria — can not be satisfactorily explained solely by the gradual adaptation of prokaryotic cells until they became eukaryotic.

I would be surprised if such eukaryotes did not date back to at least 3.0 billion years before the present.

Moreover, certain signature Mimi genes, such as those that code for the production of the soccer - ball shape of its capsid (an outer protein coat common to all viruses), have been conserved in viruses that infect organisms from all three of the domains, particularly in eukaryotes.

Such an autocatalytic system also provides an entirely novel mechanism for the growth of ring - shaped structures, which differs fundamentally from that used for daughter cell segregation in eukaryotic cell division: In eukaryotes, specific motor proteins which attach to the cell membrane and undergo active contraction are essential for this process, Denk points out.

Such genes had thus far only been found in eukaryotes, indicating that these archaea were somehow primed to become complex.

The third group of organisms comprises all visible life, such as humans, animals, and fungi — collectively known as eukaryotes.

But intriguingly, the Lokiarchaea appear to have more than 100 genes coding for sophisticated cellular functions such as deforming cell membranes and forming and transporting bubble - like vesicles around the cell — functions that are usually only seen in eukaryotes like us.

«Archaea resemble bacterial cells in size and shape but their cell cycle events — such as division and DNA replication — are a hybrid between eukaryotes and bacteria.»

The meeting program will encompass investigations of eukaryote biodiversity, ecology, and evolution, using approaches such as rRNA marker genes, shotgun metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and computational biology tools and software pipelines.

In eukaryote organisms (almost all large organisms, such as animals, plants, and fungi, but not bacteria), DNA forms a complex with proteins that are called histones.

Such aerobically obtained energy vastly exceeded that of anaerobic respiration, setting the stage for vastly accelerated evolution of eukaryotes.

Eukaryotes of Very Different Organizational Complexity, such as Protozoa, Caenorhabditis and Drosophila, Have Similar Gene Numbers in the 12,000 to 14,000 Range In D. melanogaster, previous estimates of gene number range from 8,000 to 20,000 (Lewin, 1994; Nusslein - Volhard, 1994).

In eukaryotes, chromosomal rearrangements, such as inversions, translocations and duplications, are common and range from part of a gene to hundreds of genes.

The name comes from the posterior location of the flagellum in motile cells, such as most animal sperm, whereas other eukaryotes tend to have anterior flagella.

These were the eukaryotes — mainly plants and animals, whose cells had a nucleus — and the prokaryotes, such as bacteria, whose cells did not.

During my PhD this meant dealing with «simple» eukaryotes, such as microalgae and fungi.

Schwartzman argues that the emergence of the major groups of life such as blue - green bacteria, eukaryotes, and plants may have been facilitated by this global cooling.
