The word ‘chromosome’ was coined by Waldeyer and means coloured body. Chromosomes are found in viruses, prokaryotes and eukaryotes. 1. Prokaryotic Chromosome: Prokaryotic cells do not possess nuclear membrane and the genetic material is found in a compact structure called nucleoid. A prokaryotic cell possesses a single chromosome which is irregularly folded into a compact […]
