A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans.

An international collaboration between four scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published new research in ...

Daniel Mills, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München During this time, some of the defining characteristics of modern eukaryotic cells—the nucleus, mitochondria, cytoskeleton, cell membrane, and ...

Eukaryotic cell DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. Prokaryotic cell DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or ...

Over time, that bacterium evolved into a mitochondrion—the energy powerhouse found in modern eukaryotic cells. The nucleus and other compartments followed, paving the way for the eukaryotic lineage.

1 Despite having been overlooked for the last century, this has turned out to be a prescient description of the interior of eukaryotic cells. In addition to membrane-encased organelles—the nucleus, ...

Eukaryotic cells -- i.e. cells with a nucleus -- contain a large number of functional sub-units, so-called organelles. They perform important functions within the cell. Some organelles were ...

During prometaphase, the nuclear envelope that encloses the nucleus breaks down ... Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce ...
