Question
Which of the following is true of prokaryotes?Multiple ChoiceProkaryotes have a nucleus.Prokaryotes are single-celled.Prokaryotes do not have a chromosome.Prokaryotes have membrane-bounded organelles.Prokaryotes do not have ribosomes.
Solution
The correct answer is: Prokaryotes are single-celled.
Here's why:
-
Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus. Instead, their genetic material is contained in a region called the nucleoid, which is not a true nucleus as it's not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
-
Prokaryotes are indeed single-celled. This is a defining characteristic of prokaryotic organisms.
-
Prokaryotes do have chromosomes, but they are typically circular and not contained within a nucleus.
-
Prokaryotes do not have membrane-bounded organelles. This is another key difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
-
Prokaryotes do have ribosomes. Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis in all living organisms, including prokaryotes.
