Question

Select the reasons why the term 'prokaryote' can be problematic.

Answer 1

Answer:

__ It implies that prokaryotes existed before eukaryotes, and

__ It implies that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes.

Explanation:

The prefix pro- can mean "before". By using the term prokaryote one can tend to think that procaryotes preceded eukaryotes.

Preceed as existed before them, or as an evolutionary point of view.
