The ends of linear chromosomes (telomeres) cause a problem:
unlike bacterial circular chromosomes, linear chromosomes shorten with each round of DNA replication because of the way DNA polymerase works…

Take Home II
Unlike bacterial chromosomes, which are circular, the chromosomes of higher cells are divided-up into collections of single linear DNA molecules…this created unique challenges in replication…and the chromosomes interact with the cytoskeletal microtubules during cell division…cell division is controlled by a clock-like mechanism called the cell cycle…
The DNA genome of higher cells is packaged in linear chromosomes…

Take Home III
Genes in higher cells are often broken-up into exons and introns, with the introns being spliced-out of RNA before it is translated by the ribosomes…genes in turn are controlled by DNA binding regulatory proteins…
The genes of higher cells are in pieces and are highly regulatedand processed…
