The sciatic nerve is a sensory motor nerve with two divisions that innervate the muscles behind and below the knee. These divisions are the tibial and peroneal nerves. The sciatic nerve is a sensory nerve that originates from the 7th lumbar vertebrae and sacrum of a dogâs spinal cord.
1 Because prokaryotic DNA can interact with the cytoplasm, transcription and translation occur simultaneously. 2  Most prokaryotes contain only one copy of each gene (i.e., they are haploid). 3  Nonessential prokaryotic genes are commonly encoded on extrachromosomal plasmids.
At the molecular level, prokaryotes differ from eukaryotes in the structure of their lipids and of certain metabolic enzymes, and in how genes are expressed for protein synthesis. Prokaryotes reproduce asexually and include the bacteria and blue-green algae. Also called moneran. Compare eukaryote. See Table at taxonomy.
