nuclei are placed in a third domain, Eukaryota. Prokaryotes evolved before eukaryotes, and lack nuclei, mitochondria or most of the other distinct organelles...

eukaryotic cell and lineage, is a milestone in the evolution of life, since eukaryotes include all complex cells and almost all multicellular organisms. The...

Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic. This means that they obtain their energy from sunlight...

Eukaryote hybrid genomes result from interspecific hybridization, where closely related species mate and produce offspring with admixed genomes. The advent...
