Complete the analogy:
Lacks mitochondria
Contains a membrane-bound nucleus
Is always unicellular
Lacks DNA
Contains a membrane-bound nucleus
Identify the primary defining biological characteristic that distinguishes the two cell types; prokaryotes are defined by the absence of a nucleus, whereas eukaryotes are defined by its presence.
Identify the primary defining biological characteristic that distinguishes the two cell types; prokaryotes are defined by the absence of a nucleus, whereas eukaryotes are defined by its presence.
Analyze the relationship
The analogy relates a cell type to its defining structural characteristic. A prokaryotic cell is characterized by the absence of a well-defined membrane-bound nucleus.
Apply to target
A eukaryotic cell is defined by the presence of a well-defined, membrane-bound nucleus which separates genetic material from the cytoplasm.
A: Eukaryotic cells possess mitochondria for energy production; C: Eukaryotes can be unicellular (like amoeba) or multicellular (like humans); D: Eukaryotic cells contain linear DNA enclosed within the nucleus.
B is correct because the analogy follows the definition of cell structure where prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and eukaryotic cells are characterized by the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus.
In science analogies, always look for the most fundamental biological difference between the two terms provided. If one lacks a component, the counterpart often possesses a complex version of it.
