A
Neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic cells
B
Eukaryotic cells
C
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
D
Prokaryotic cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane-enclosed nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do.
Recall that eukaryotic cells are more complex and include organisms such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
Recognize that prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria and archaea, have genetic material that is not enclosed within a membrane-bound nucleus.
Identify that the presence of a membrane-enclosed nucleus is a defining feature of eukaryotic cells.
Conclude that the correct answer to the question is 'Eukaryotic cells' because they have a membrane-enclosed nucleus, unlike prokaryotic cells.
