which cell is most likely to be prokaryotic
A) a cell with a Golgi apparatus that forms vesicles
B) a cell with large organelles throughout its cytoplasm
C) a cell whose DNA is located in its cytoplasm instead of a nucleus
D) a cell with a whip lie tail used for movement

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The correct answer would be A. It has DNA that is not contained within a nucleus.

The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell is the absence of a well-defined nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles like the Golgi body, mitochondria et cetera in a prokaryotic cell.

The DNA in the prokaryotic cell floats freely in the cytoplasm in the region called nucleoid which means nucleus-like.

Thus, an observation like the absence of a nucleus can provide the evidence that a cell is most likely a prokaryote.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is: c) a cell whose DNA is located in its cytoplasm instead of a nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) a cell with a Golgi apparatus that forms vesicles This is a characteristics of eukariotic cells.

B) a cell with large organelles throughout its cytoplasm This is also a characteristic of eukariotic cells.

C) a cell whose DNA is located in its cytoplasm instead of a nucleus . The main characteristic of prokariotic cells is that they do not have nucleus, so this is the correct answer.

D) a cell with a whip lie tail used for movement. Bacteria are prokariotic and they have tails to move so this answer is incorrect.
