Sophisticated building blocks of all multicellular organisms
- Eukaryotic cells, the sophisticated building blocks of all multicellular organisms, including humans, plants, and fungi. These cells are characterized by their well-organized structures, with a nucleus housing DNA, and various organelles performing distinct functions.
2 days ago · DNA, organic chemical of complex molecular structure found in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It codes genetic information for the transmission of inherited traits. The structure of DNA was described in 1953, leading to further understanding of DNA replication and hereditary control of cellular activities.
