Question

A bacterial cell can divide several times in an hour. Few animal or plant cells can divide as quickly. Which of the following statements best explains this difference? A. Eukaryotic cells are smaller than prokaryotic cells. B. Eukaryotic cells have less DNA than prokaryotic cells. C. Eukaryotic cells have more cell walls than prokaryotic cells. D. Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Answer 1

The answer is D because prokaryotic cells are simple cells, meaning that they do not function like eukaryotic cells, which are more complex

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The division of the cell distributes the genetic material of the cell along with the cytoplasm of the cell.

This distribution is very fast in the prokaryotic cell as compared to the eukaryotic cell as the prokaryotic cell is very simple in organization whereas the eukaryotes are highly complex.

The prokaryotes lack the membrane-bound organelle whereas the eukaryotes posses them. Also, the genetic material of the prokaryotes is less as compared to the eukaryotes.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
