which cell structure serves the stated function in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells? ribosomes: regulate cell processes nucleus: stores genetic material cytoplasm: protects cell structures dna: surrounds cell contents

Explanation:

Ribosomes are for protein - synthesis, not regulating cell processes. The nucleus stores genetic material. The cytoplasm is the site of many cellular processes and contains organelles, not for protecting the cell in the sense described. DNA is the genetic material inside the cell, not surrounding the cell. The nucleus correctly stores genetic material in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells (though in prokaryotes, it's not in a membrane - bound nucleus).

Answer:

nucleus: stores genetic material
