The complete genetic material of an organism.
Eukaryotic genomes are linear and typically diploid, while prokaryotic genomes are circular and haploid.
Stores genetic information necessary for cellular functions.
They are usually circular and exist in a single copy.
Small, circular DNA molecules that replicate independently of chromosomal DNA.
Histones help package DNA into a compact structure within the nucleus.
New strands are formed using one original and one new strand.
Leading strands are synthesized continuously, while lagging strands are synthesized in fragments.
It adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication.
Linear double-stranded DNA.
Circular DNA found in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Each new DNA molecule contains one old and one new strand.
