Question
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells generally have which of the following features in common?Select one alternative:a membrane-bounded nucleusribosomesa cell wall made of celluloselinear chromosomes made of DNA and protein
Solution
The correct answer is ribosomes. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have ribosomes. These are the sites of protein synthesis in the cell. The other options are not features that are common to both types of cells. A membrane-bounded nucleus, for example, is only found in eukaryotic cells. Similarly, a cell wall made of cellulose is a feature of plant cells, which are a type of eukaryotic cell, but not all eukaryotic cells have this feature and it is not found in prokaryotic cells. Linear chromosomes made of DNA and protein are also a feature of eukaryotic cells, while prokaryotic cells have a single circular chromosome.
