Which type of cell has free-floating DNA?
A
Prokaryotic cell
B
Eukaryotic cell
C
Neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic cells
D
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are simpler and do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus where their DNA is contained.
Recall that prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, have their DNA free-floating in the cytoplasm because they lack a nucleus.
Eukaryotic cells, which include plant and animal cells, have their DNA enclosed within a nuclear membrane, forming a nucleus.
Consider the options given: 'Prokaryotic cell', 'Eukaryotic cell', 'Neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic cells', and 'Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells'.
Based on the characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, identify which type of cell has free-floating DNA.
