Both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells have ​ (a)  

• DNA

• a cell wall

• a nucleus

• mitochondria

Answer explanation

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain DNA, which is essential for storing genetic information. Unlike the other options, a cell wall is not present in all eukaryotic cells, a nucleus is absent in prokaryotes, and mitochondria are only in eukaryotes.

Which of the following structures packages chemicals for use inside the cell or to be taken out of the cell?

• ribosomses

• lysosomes

• Golgi bodies

• cytoplasm
