Question
- In an hour, a single prokaryotic cell can divide and proliferate several times, while most eukaryotic cells cannot divide this fast. Which of the following statements best explains this difference?*1 pointA. Eukaryotic cells have less DNA than prokaryotic cells.B. Eukaryotic cells are thicker than prokaryotic cells.C. Eukaryotic organisms are unicellular, while prokaryotic cells are typically unicellular.D. Eukaryotic cells are more structurally complex than prokaryotic cells.
Solution
D. Eukaryotic cells are more structurally complex than prokaryotic cells.
This statement best explains the difference in division speed between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are more complex, containing multiple chromosomes within a nucleus, as well as various other organelles. This complexity requires more time for replication and division. On the other hand, prokaryotic cells are simpler, with a single circular chromosome and no nucleus, allowing them to divide more quickly.

Question 5 options: because we believe in them more because they have a control group because they are based on many experimentally tested hypotheses because they are scientific laws Question 6 (1.5 points) Saved A scientist wants to test the hypothesis that a certain bird species in her backyard changes its songs to warning calls whenever it detects the presence of a potential predator. Which of the following most likely describes her initial observations? Question 6 options: The scientist noticed that the birds only appeared at certain times of the day, always singing the same song during those times.
