Cells have evolved into two fundamentally different types, eukaryotic and prokaryotic, which can be distinguished on the basis of their structure and the complexity of their organization. As organized in the three domain system, prokaryotes include bacteria and archaeans. The order of core genes, albeit assumed to be stable under selection in general, is frequently interrupted by horizontal gene transfer and rearrangement, but how a coregenedefined genome maintains its stability or flexibility remains to be investigated. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus, but, instead, generally have a single chromosome. The size of prokaryotic genomes is directly related to their metabolic capabilities the more genes, the more proteins and enzymes they make. Cell division in eukaryotes is carried out in the context of the cell cycle. Usually each cell contain one single copy of each chromosome.
To know whether there is a set of genes not only conserved in position among isolates but also functionally essential for a given species and to further evaluate the stability or flexibility of such genome structures across lineages are of importance. A cells dna, packaged as a doublestranded dna molecule, is called its genome. The genomes of prokaryotes are also very plastic with high rates of horizontal gene transfer and gene loss.
