All of the following are characteristics of prokaryotic cells except?
Correct answer: D. They are found in protists and fungi
- A. Unicellular
- B. Lack of membrane-bound organelle
- C. Lack of a nucleus
- D. They are found in protists and fungi
Explanation
Prokaryotic cells are not typically found in protists or fungi. Instead, prokaryotic cells are a characteristic of bacteria and archaea. These two domains of life consist of organisms with prokaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, the genetic material is not enclosed within a true nucleus and is found in a nucleoid region within the cytoplasm. They lack membrane-bound organelles such as a nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum, which are features of eukaryotic cells.
