Question 26

SIMILARITIES of Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Answer 26

have DNA have ribosomes have cytoplasm have plasma membrane

Question 27

Chromosomal DNA is a circular protein structure Chromosomal DNA is present in the cytoplasm Has no definite morphological structure of DNA replication The basic protein histones are absent The chromosome DNA is not complex with proteins They are primarily haploid
