Question

a scientist observes two cells. cell 1 and cell 2 both contain dna (genetic material) and ribosomes. however, cell 1 contains a nucleus and other membrane - bound organelles, which cell 2 does not. what is the correct classification for each of the cells? a cell 1 = eukaryotic, cell 2 = prokaryotic b cell 1 = prokaryotic, cell 2 = eukaryotic c cell 1 = eubacteria, cell 2 = archaea d cell 1 = archaea, cell 2 = eubacteria

Explanation:

• Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles.
• Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles.
• Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain DNA and ribosomes.

Answer:

A. Cell 1 = Eukaryotic, Cell 2 = Prokaryotic
