Answer: The correct answer is D) DNA is in a nucleus in eukaryotes.

Prokaryotes are those organisms that lack a well defined nucleus and membrane bound subcellular organelles (like endoplasmic reticulum, golgi complex, mitochondria). The genetic material lies in the cytoplasm of the cell in these organisms.

Example - Bacteria like E.coli.

On the other hand, eukaryotes are those organisms that contain a well defined nucleus that possesses the genetic material (DNA). These organisms also contain membrane bound subcellular organelles.

Example - Plants and animals.

The DNA (Deoxyribose nucleic acid) of the eukaryotes is different from that of prokaryotic DNA based on their nuclear structure, a number of a chromosome, their binding protein, and selective permeability.

Further Explanation:

The difference between prokaryotic cells and Eukaryotic cells are listed in Table 1 attached below:

Your aunt grows sprouts hydroponically. from where do her plants get nutrients?

larisa [96]

Hydroponics way of growing, is way of farming, in which plants are grown in nutrient rich water. So, in Hydroponic growing of sprouts, sprouts get their nutrients from the nutrients supply like liquid fertilizers which are mixed with the water. It is one of the advantage of hydroponic means of growing because, unlike in soil system, the plants root does not have to work hard to get nutrient from underground. The easy availability of nutrients and other condition like water, pH level etc makes plants grow faster are fuller.

Also, advancement of technology have made it possible to prepare built-in hybrid hydroponic system which have multiple ways of delivering nutrient to specific plants.
