Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is something that prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common?
A
They have a nucleus.
B
They are multi-cellular.
C
They have DNA.
D
They have organelles that are membrane-bound.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have structures in common. All cells have a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA. The nucleus is where cells store their DNA, which is the genetic material.

Detailed explanation-2: -These are some of the similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA replication: Both processes occur before nuclear division. Both processes involve double-stranded DNA. Both are multi-step processes carried by DNA polymerases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells both use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as the basis for their genetic information. This genetic material is needed to regulate and inform cell function through the creation of RNA by transcription, followed by the generation of proteins through translation.

Detailed explanation-4: -A major DNA difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is the presence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in eukaryotes. Because eukaryotes have mitochondria and prokaryotes do not, eukaryotic cells contain mitochondrial DNA in addition to DNA contained in the nucleus and ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -A eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosome, just like a prokaryotic cell. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have genetic material (DNA or RNA). Both can live as single-celled creatures. More items
