- The question can be solved by using the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell.
- Prokaryotic cell does not have a well defined nucleus. The nuclear material lies naked in the cytoplasm. It is known as nucleoid. While, eukaryotic cell has a well defined nucleus with a nuclear membrane.
- Prokaryotic cell has a single chromosome while eukaryotic cell has more than one chromosome.
- Finally, prokaryotic cell do not have membrane-bound cell organelles while eukaryotic cell have membrane-bound cell organelles.
Hope you could get an idea from here.

<h2>Law of independent assortment </h2>
Explanation:
- There are 8 distinct phenotypes, each one has a 12,5% of appearance: Since M=solid leaves D=normal height P= smooth skin.
- Recessive gene characters can only be taken in homozygous recessive mmddpp.
1. MmDdPp: M=solid leaves D=normal height P= smooth skin.
2. MmDdpp M=solid leaves D=normal height pp= peach skin.
3. MmddPp M=solid leaves dd=dwarf height P= smooth skin.
4. Mmddpp M=solid leaves dd=dwarf height pp= peach skin.
5. mmDdPp mm=mottled leaves D=normal height P= smooth skin.
6. mmDdpp mm=mottled leaves D=normal height pp= peach skin.
7. mmddPp mm=mottled leaves dd=dwarf height P= smooth skin.
8. mmddpp mm=mottled leaves dd=dwarf height pp= peach skin.
Hence,The answer is all eight possible phenotypes from the cross MmDdPp x mmddpp are equally likely, resulting in a phenotypic ratio of 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1
