Answer:

The correct answer is: more DNA molecules and larger genomes.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells, as opposed to prokaryotic cells, <u>have more DNA molecules and larger genomes. </u>

Prokaryotes have smaller genomes because they don't produce as many proteins as eukaryotes since they are much simpler organisms.

Prokaryotes are haploid, which means they only have one DNA molecule; while eukaryotes are diploid - they have two DNA molecules per cell.

Other differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes regarding DNA is that prokaryotes have only one small circular and naked DNA chromosome (naked refers to the absence of histone proteins, which are an important component of eukaryotic chromosomes). Eukaryotes have multiple linear chromosomes - in order to compact the large DNA molecules into these much smaller chromosomes, histones bind to them).

ella [17]

The RNA (ribonucleic acid) and the associated proteins forms the ribosomes. These ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis in a cell. Inside the stained cell nucleus, the nucleolus part of the cell can be seen. The nucleolus is the part where the all the ribosomes of the cell are assembled.

Hence, the answer is 'nucleolus'.
