📌 Prokaryotic DNA is generally a circular chromosome in the nucleoid and may include plasmids, whereas eukaryotic DNA is packaged into linear chromosomes inside a membrane-bound nucleus.
1. Which feature best identifies a prokaryotic cell?
2. What distinguishes a eukaryotic cell from a prokaryotic cell?
3. Which set of structures is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
What defines a prokaryotic cell's DNA structure and organelles?
It has circular DNA in a nucleoid and lacks membrane-bound organelles.
What characterizes a eukaryotic cell's chromosomes and organelles?
It has linear chromosomes in a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Which components are common to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Genetic material, ribosomes, cytosol, and a plasma membrane.
Where is prokaryotic DNA located and what form does it take?
In the nucleoid as a circular chromosome, sometimes with plasmids.
How is eukaryotic DNA organized and enclosed?
Into linear chromosomes inside a membrane-bound nucleus.
What is a ribosome made of?
Proteins and ribosomal RNA.
