Answer: DNA.

Explanation:

Cells are classified into prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes arose long before eukaryotes. There are prokaryote fossil dating three billion years old. The eukaryotes probably appeared a billion years ago.

Prokaryotes are cells that do not have a nuclear envelope delimiting the genetic material, then their DNA is found in the cytoplasm of the cell. They also do not have membranous organelles and cytoskeleton, so there is no transport of vesicles involved in the entry (endocytosis) and exit (exocytosis) of substances. This is the case of bacteria and blue algae.

Eukaryotic cells have a nuclear envelope, forming a true nucleus, which protects DNA from cytoskeleton movement. The eukaryote cytoplasm, unlike that of prokaryotes, is subdivided into compartments, increasing metabolic efficiency, which allows them to reach larger size without compromising their functions. These cells are found in protozoa, fungi, plants, and animals.

The answer is DNA.

P.S If you need me to explain more I can just ask! :)

I hope this helps!

Two species of sea urchins live practically side-by-side in sandy bottoms. The two species appear to have the same diet: drift seaweeds and other bits of organic matter. They can live in the same environment without competing.

As it compels them to live in the same environmental surroundings so the characteristics of living nature also get developed as their current following situation that's helping them to get the same food & habitat.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

unicellular - both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

contain mitochondrion - eukaryotes only

are generally less than 2 pm - Prokaryotes only

multicellular - eukaryotes only

lack membrane-bound organelles - prokaryotes only

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are generally unicellular, that is, they are made up of single cells only. However, there are unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes with some eukaryotes like humans and advanced plants having as many as millions of cells.

Prokaryotes generally lack nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplast and mitochondrion. Eukaryotes on the other hand have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondrion and chloroplast.

When it comes to size, prokaryotes are generally small and microscopic while eukaryotes consist of both microscopic and macroscopic cells or organisms. However, prokaryotes are generally smaller than microscopic eukaryotes.
