Like all mammals humans are a diploid eukaryotic species.

The difficulty is best explained by contrast with a eukaryotic species - for example the house mouse,Mus musculus.

Genome size is of little relevance when considering the number of functional genes in eukaryotic species.

There is a considerable degree of similarity in the sequence of alpha-galactosidase from various eukaryotic species.

The Kelch motif is widely found in eukaryotic and bacterial species.

Most eukaryotic species are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes - one set inherited from each parent.

Normal members of a particular eukaryotic species all have the same number of nuclear chromosomes (see the table).

The total number of eukaryotic species is likely to be 5 3 million of which about 1.5 million have been already named.

Quantitative evidence for conserved longevity pathways between divergent eukaryotic species.

Nuclear genome sizes are well known to vary enormously among eukaryotic species.
