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.

Ribosomes are for protein - synthesis, not genetic material storage. Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission, and eukaryotes can reproduce by mitosis among other methods.
