Plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, meaning that they have nuclei. Eukaryotic cells are found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists. They generally have a nucleus—an organelle surrounded by a membrane called the nuclear envelope—where DNA is stored.
Explanation:
cells accomplish all their functions in such a tiny, crowded package? Eukaryotic cells — those that make up cattails and apple trees, mushrooms and dust mites, halibut and readers of Scitable — have evolved ways to partition off different functions to various locations in the cell. In fact, specialized compartments called organelles exist within eukaryotic cells for this purpose. Different organelles play different roles in the cell — for instance, mitochondria generate energy from food molecules; lysosomes break down and recycle organelles and macromolecules; and the endoplasmic reticulum helps build membranes and transport proteins throughout the cell. But what characteristics do all organelles have in common? And why was the development of three particular organelles — the nucleus, the mitochondrion, and the chloroplast — so essential to the evolution of present-day eukaryotes
DNA/fingerprints are all unique, therefor it is easy to match a fingerprint to a person thus they use this mechanism in criminal investigations because only one person woul have matching DNA to the prints on the scene, and that is the criminal.
Karyotypes describe the chromosome count of an organism, so all the chromosomes would be in front of you, and it'd be easy to tell if there are 2 or 3 chromosome 21.
