which types of cells have genetic material that is contained in the nucleus?
eukaryotic
prokaryotic genetic material is organized in a simple circular bacterial chromosome in the nucleoid region of the cytoplasm. eukaryotic genetic material is divided into different, linear molecules called chromosomes inside a discrete nucleus, usually with additional genetic material in some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts (see endosymbiotic theory).
cell (biology)
disregarding intermediates, the basic distinction between asexual and sexual reproduction is the way in which the genetic material is processed. typically, prior to an asexual division, a cell duplicates its genetic information content, and then divides. this process of cell division is called mitosis. in sexual reproduction, there are special kinds of cells that divide without prior duplication of its genetic material, in a process named meiosis. the resulting cells are called gametes, and contain only half the genetic material of the parent cells. these gametes are the cells that are prepared for the sexual reproduction of the organism. sex comprises the arrangements that enable sexual reproduction, and has evolved alongside the reproduction system, starting with similar gametes (isogamy) and progressing to systems that have different gamete types, such as those involving a large female gamete (ovum) and a small male gamete (sperm).
