0 a type of organism that has one or more cells each with a separate nucleus (= central part) containing chromosomes, which includes all animals and plants:
Bacteria and archaea are single-celled organisms without nuclei. But the word microbe is also used to refer to single-celled eukaryotes, things like amoeba.
Eukaryotes are the group of organisms that includes humans and other mammals.
Fewer than 10 percent of eukaryotes - plants and animals - have genes acquired via horizontal gene transfer.
Until now, the genomes of eukaryotes have been analysed using a laborious approach that sequences each chromosome a bit at a time.
Microsatellites are ubiquitous among eukaryotes and have been described from a great variety of taxa.
These pathways differ significantly from those in eukaryotes and thus present an important opportunity to compare different natural design solutions to similar biological needs.
The molecule is ubiquitous - it occurs in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and also in the genomes of mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Within eukaryotes, these elements are found within nuclear, mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes.
