Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes

Exist only as unicellular organisms

• Prokaryotes

• Eukaryotes

Genetic material is not contained within a membrane-bound nucleus

• Prokaryote

• Eukaryote

Have larger ribosomes

• Prokaryote

• Eukaryote

Which of the following is NOT a feature of any eukaryotic cell, but is a feature of a prokaryotic cell?

Prokaryotes have...

(select all the apply)

• linear chromosomes

• small circular pieces of DNA

• a large circular chromosome

Which is true about plasmids?

(Select all that apply)

• The can be copied independently of the main chromosome

• The can be passed from one neighboring cell to another

• They can only be copied during the process of binary fission

• They are only copied prior to mitosis

• They often contain genes the code for the production of antibiotics

(Select all that apply)

• Pathogens are microbes that can cause disease.

• All prokaryotes are pathogenic, while all eukaryotes are non-pathogenic.

• Bacterial cells can be infected with pathogens.

• Infection with a pathogen always leads to illness.
