eukaryotesEucaryotes (fr.); Eurkaryoten (ger.)

• The superkingdom containing all organisms that are, or consist of, cells with true nuclei bounded by nuclear envelopes and that undergo meiosis. Cell division occurs by mitosis. Oxidative enzymes are packaged within mitochondria. The superkingdom contains four kingdoms: the Protoctista, the Fungi, the Animalia, and the Plantae. (Oxford Dict. of Genetics 2007)

  The distinction of eukaryotes which possess a characteristic chromosome nucleus and prokaryotes where the nuclear equivalent does not show any chromosome-like structures, is not bounded by a nuclear envelope, and does not divide by mitosis.
