Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which characteristic is shared by prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
A
cytoskeleton
B
nuclear envelope
C
DNA-based genome
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have a DNA-based genome.

Detailed explanation-3: -The similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic replication can be understood as follows: Both the replication processes occur before nuclear division. The DNA involved in both processes are double-stranded. The replication occurs in 5’ to 3’ direction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Like a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes, but a eukaryotic cell is typically larger than a prokaryotic cell, has a true nucleus (meaning its DNA is surrounded by a membrane), and has other membrane-bound organelles that allow for compartmentalization of functions.
