Create a series of yes/no questions that will help someone looking only at the DNA to determine if a cell is eukaryotic or prokaryotic. Your key must have three questions and must come to a definite conclusion (specifically, "the cell is eukaryotic" and "the cell is prokaryotic"). Drag each question to its correct location.
