  2. Prokaryotic DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokaryotic_DNA_replication

    Prokaryotic DNA Replication is the process by which a prokaryote duplicates its DNA into another copy that is passed on to daughter cells. [1] Although it is often studied in the model organism E. coli, other bacteria show many similarities. [2] Replication is bi-directional and originates at a single origin of replication (OriC). [3]

  3. Marine prokaryotes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_prokaryotes

    The division of life forms between prokaryotes and eukaryotes was firmly established by the microbiologists Roger Stanier and C. B. van Niel in their 1962 paper, The concept of a bacterium. [34] One reason for this classification was so what was then often called blue-green algae (now called cyanobacteria ) would cease to be classified as ...

  4. Prokaryote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokaryote

    A prokaryote (/ p r oʊ ˈ k ær i oʊ t,-ə t /; less commonly spelled procaryote) [1] is a single-celled organism whose cell lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. [2] The word prokaryote comes from the Ancient Greek πρό (pró), meaning 'before', and κάρυον (káruon), meaning 'nut' or 'kernel'. [3]

  5. Pre-replication complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-replication_complex

    Recognition of the origin of replication is a critical first step in the formation of the pre-RC. In different domains of life this process is accomplished differently. In prokaryotes, origin recognition is accomplished by DnaA. DnaA binds tightly to a 9-base pair consensus sequence in oriC; 5' – TTATCCACA – 3'.

  6. Archaeplastida - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeplastida

    Another name applied to this node is Plastida, defined as the clade sharing "plastids of primary (direct prokaryote) origin [as] in Magnolia virginiana Linnaeus 1753". [ 28 ] Although many studies have suggested the Archaeplastida form a monophyletic group, [ 29 ] a 2009 paper argues that they are in fact paraphyletic . [ 23 ]

  7. Archaea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaea

    Archaea (/ ɑːr ˈ k iː ə / ⓘ ar-KEE-ə) is a domain of organisms.Traditionally, Archaea only included its prokaryotic members, but this since has been found to be paraphyletic, as eukaryotes are now known to have evolved from archaea.

  8. Evolution of cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_cells

    The eukaryotic cell seems to have evolved from a symbiotic community of prokaryotic cells. DNA-bearing organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are remnants of ancient symbiotic oxygen-breathing bacteria and cyanobacteria, respectively, where at least part of the rest of the cell may have been derived from an ancestral archaean prokaryote ...

  9. GC skew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GC_skew

    Indication of the origin and terminus of DNA replication on a GC skew and cumulative GC skew plot. Richness of G over T in the leading strand, resulting in a GC skew sign at the origin and terminus. GC skew is when the nucleotides guanine and cytosine are over- or under-abundant in a particular region of DNA or RNA. GC skew is also a ...
