Which of the following pair is correct? I. Prokaryotic Cell - One chromosome II. Eukaryotic Cells - More than one chromosome
Which of the following pair is correct? I. Prokaryotic Cell - One chromosome II. Eukaryotic Cells - More than one chromosome Correct Answer Both I and II
The correct answer is Both I and II.
Key Points
- Prokaryotic cells:
- Organisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus are called prokaryotes.
- A prokaryotic cell does not contain a well-defined nucleus.
- The genetic material is present on a single chromosome.
- All prokaryotes have a cell wall surrounding the cell membrane except in mycoplasma.
- The nucleolus is absent in prokaryotic cells.
- The fluid matrix filling the prokaryotic cell is the cytoplasm.
- Membrane-bound cell organelles are absent in prokaryotes.
- In prokaryotes, cell division takes place by fission or budding.
- Blue-green algae, bacteria, and mycoplasma are examples of prokaryotes.
- Eukaryotic Cells:
- Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed within the nuclear membrane and form large and complex organisms.
- They can maintain different environments in a single cell that allows them to carry out various metabolic reactions.
- This helps them grow many times larger than the prokaryotic cells.
- Since eukaryotic cells typically have multiple linear chromosomes, capped with telomeres, eukaryotic DNA replication and cell division (mitosis and meiosis) are a bit more complicated.
- Protozoa, fungi, plants, and animals all have eukaryotic cells.
