Scelta multipla
Which observation most strongly indicates that a cell is a eukaryote rather than a prokaryote?
A
The cell uses DNA as its genetic material.
B
The cell contains a membrane-bound nucleus enclosing its DNA.
C
The cell has a plasma membrane surrounding the cytoplasm.
D
The cell contains ribosomes for protein synthesis.
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes have them, including a nucleus.
Identify the significance of a membrane-bound nucleus: it encloses the DNA within a distinct compartment, which is a hallmark of eukaryotic cells.
Evaluate each observation: using DNA as genetic material, having a plasma membrane, and containing ribosomes are features common to both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Recognize that the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus enclosing DNA is unique to eukaryotes and thus is the strongest indicator that a cell is eukaryotic.
Conclude that the observation 'The cell contains a membrane-bound nucleus enclosing its DNA' most strongly indicates a eukaryotic cell.
