Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Eukaryotes (cells with nuclei such as those found in plants, yeast, and animals) possess multiple large linear chromosomes contained in the cell's nucleus. Each chromosome has one centromere, with one or two arms projecting from the centromere, although, under most circumstances, these arms are not visible as such. In addition, most eukaryotes have a small circular mitochondrial genome, and some eukaryotes may have additional small circular or linear cytoplasmic chromosomes. This book studies chromosomes in eukaryotes including cytoplasm, cell cycle, euchromatin, mitosis, and meiosis.
