Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How are prokaryotes and eukaryotes similar?
A
Both cells contain RNA, ribosomes, and a cell wall.
B
Both cells contain DNA, ribosomes and a cell membrane.
C
Both cells contain a nucleus, ribosomes, and a cell membrane.
D
Both cells contain ribosomes, mitochondrion, and a cell membrane.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have structures in common. All cells have a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA. The plasma membrane, or cell membrane, is the phospholipid layer that surrounds the cell and protects it from the outside environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -In contrast, prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound organelles and are always part of unicellular organisms. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have similar features, like ribosomes, genetic material, a cytoplasm, and plasma membranes.

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes are components of the living cells. They provide a site for protein synthesis. Furthermore, they are made from RNA and ribosomal proteins. Also, they contain two subunits made up of RNAs.
