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 structures are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• cell membrane, ribosomes, and cytoplasm

• chloroplasts and mitochondria

• a cell wall and nucleus

• chloroplasts and cell wall

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

• They store nutrients.

• They produce proteins.

• They break down waste.

• They transport materials.
