Eukaryotes can't share which of the following structures with prokaryotes?

Correct answer: D. Mitochondria

  • A. Cell wall
  • B. Genetic material
  • C. Cytoplasm
  • D. Mitochondria

Explanation

OPTION A: The cell wall is present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. OPTION B: DNA is the genetic material present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The DNA in prokaryotic cells is contained in the central area of the cell called the nucleoid. Eukaryotic cells have a well-defined nucleus within which the genetic material is present OPTION C: The cytoplasm is an integral part of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. OPTION D: Prokaryotes lack membrane-bounded organelles i.e. Mitochondria, E.R., Golgi bodies, etc while eukaryotes have membrane-bounded organelles. Hence, D is the correct option.
