For band names, see locus. Chromosome 6 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 6 spans more than 170 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 5.5 and 6% of the total DNA in cells.
The major difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the location of their DNA. In eukaryotic cell, DNA is found at the nucleus, which is bounded by a double membrane. (the word eukaryotic is from the Greek eu, true, and karyon, kernel, here referring to the nucleus).Eukaryotic cells are much larger than prokaryotic cells; size is general aspect of cell structure that relates to function.ucleus [edit]. The nucleus contains most of the genes in the eukaryotic cell; some genes are located in mitochondria and chloroplast. It is generally the most conspicuous organelle in a eukaryotic cell. The nuclear envelope encloses the nucleus, sparating its contents from the cytoplasm.
Mitochondria is a membrane bound cellular structure and is found in most of the eukaryotic cells. The mitochondria ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 micrometer in diameter. The mitochondria are sometimes described as power plants of the cells.itochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA or mDNA is the DNA in the mitochondria, rest of the DNA present in the eukaryotic cells is in the nucleus, in plants DNA is also found in chloroplasts. The mitochondria have a small amount of DNA of their own.
