Question

prokaryotic & eukaryotic cells
5
what is one way that eukaryotic cells differ from prokaryotic cells?
a. only eukaryotic cells store their genetic material in ribosomes.
b. only eukaryotic cells store their genetic material in chromosomes.
c. only eukaryotic cells reproduce through mitosis.
d. only eukaryotic cells reproduce through binary fission.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus - bound DNA organized into chromosomes. Prokaryotic cells have circular DNA not organized into chromosomes. Ribosomes are for protein - synthesis, not genetic material storage. Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission, and eukaryotes can reproduce by mitosis among other methods.

Answer:

B. Only eukaryotic cells store their genetic material in chromosomes.
