Indeed Dulbecco's laboratory was filled with first-class postdoctoral fellows from around the world, who were trained in prokaryotic molecular biology and who came there intending to expand their research into eukaryotic molecular biology. ❋ Unknown (1988)

Most large-scale genomic studies suggest that the answer is an archaeon - that is, a prokaryotic cell that is in most respects like a bacterium. ❋ Radar (2010)

I’d also like an explanation for the following: Among the 21 proteins in the small subunit, 13 proteins were identified as prokaryotic homologues and eight proteins were specific to the mammalian mitoribosome Table I. ❋ Unknown (2007)

"prokaryotic" cells-which lack cell nuclei-evolved differently from that of "eukaryotic" cells with nuclei that comprise most other forms of life, from fungi to plants and animals. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)

The cases in point include the origin of complex RNA molecules and protein folds; major groups of viruses; archaea and bacteria, and the principal lineages within each of these prokaryotic domains; eukaryotic supergroups; and animal phyla. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Life was prokaryotic and unicellular for 3 billion years. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The capacity for a large number of simultaneous mutations distinguishes prokaryotic from eukaryotic evolution and should be explicitly considered in methods of phylogenetic analyses. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Assuming a prokaryotic mutation rate of 4 × 10 − 7 mutations per gene per DNA replication (86, 87), four simultaneous mutations in every gene shared by the populations of marine heterotrophs (in the upper 200 m), marine autotrophs, soil prokaryotes, or prokaryotes in domestic animals would be expected to occur once every 0.4, 0.5, 3.4, or 170 hr, respectively. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Martian life, should it exist, is not likely to be much more than prokaryotic-like forms making a living in the soil or in little niches free from solar UV and where they can catch a bit of water now and then. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Note that since the typical human eukaryotic cell probably has around 100 times or so the volume and mass of a typical human-inhabiting prokaryotic bacterial cell, we are still probably more human than bacteria on a biomass basis. ❋ Unknown (2010)

There are tiny eukaryotic algae cells with diameters in the 2 micron range, making them similar in size to prokaryotic cells, and there are very large bacteria, but even human spermatazoa are much larger than a typical prokaryotic cell. harold ❋ Unknown (2010)

The end results of such migrations may be seen in the genomes of modern eukaryotes; thus, nuclear genomes are “littered” with genes that are derived from prokaryotic ancestors, but are expressed as eukaryotic genes and whose protein products end up in the organelle. ❋ Unknown (2010)

This often involves a lot of lateral transfer of genetic material in prokaryotic populations as opposed to diploid eukaryotic populations, but the bottom line in these types of situations is usually that there is rapid selection for the resistant phenotype, and a rapid change in the frequency of the resistance associated allele in the population. ❋ Unknown (2010)
