DNA of chloroplast differs from nuclear DNA in
CHLOROPLAST DNA | NUCLEAR DNA |
1) The DNA is small and circular as found in a bacterial cell. 2) They lack histone proteins instead they have less complex histone-like proteins. 3) They have many copies of DNA with few nucleotides. | 1) They are longer compared to the chloroplast DNA and are double-stranded. 2) They have small basic proteins called histones. 3) The nuclear DNA is linear with 46 chromosomes and contains 3 billion nucleotides. |
