Multiple Choice
Which of the following features do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common?
A
Linear DNA
B
Ribosomes for protein synthesis
C
Membrane-bound organelles
D
Presence of a nucleus
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are simpler and do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and various membrane-bound organelles.
Identify the features listed in the problem: Linear DNA, Ribosomes for protein synthesis, Membrane-bound organelles, and Presence of a nucleus.
Analyze each feature: Linear DNA is typically found in eukaryotic cells, while prokaryotic cells have circular DNA. Membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus are characteristics of eukaryotic cells.
Focus on ribosomes: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis. This is a common feature between the two cell types.
Conclude that the feature shared by both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the presence of ribosomes for protein synthesis.
