Nucleic acid is found in both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells:
A
True
B
False
C
I don’t know what Nucleic Acid is.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells both use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as the basis for their genetic information.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material found in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals. It is found in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have similar features, like ribosomes, genetic material, a cytoplasm, and plasma membranes. There are two primary types of eukaryotic cells: animal and plant cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Prokaryotes do have DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -However, the cells of prokaryotes are simpler than those of eukaryotes. For example, prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells lack internal cellular bodies (organelles), while eukaryotic cells possess them. Examples of prokaryotes are bacteria and archaea.
