- eukaryote: a eukaryote is any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes.
- You are composed of many cells. You begin with one single egg cell.
- All cells stores their hereditary info in the same linear chemical code (DNA)
- All cells transcribe portions of their hereditary information into the same intermediary form (RNA)
