Question

Compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells contain

A. about 1000 times more DNA.
B. about one thousandth as much DNA.
C. twice as much DNA.
D. the same amount of DNA.

I hate how its worded and how they couldn't give me a simple answer choice everything is backwards!

Answer 1

Answer: B.about one thousandth as much DNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eukaryotic cells are typically larger and more complex then the prokaryotic cells. The eukaryotic cell posses membrane bound organelles and well defined nucleus on the other hand the prokaryotic cells does not posses membrane bond organelles and they lack nucleus. The eukaryotic cells are present in the complex organisms and prokaryotic cells are present in simple organisms. The complex functions like photosynthesis, respiration, digestion and others requires a genetic material which includes genes for expression of proteins necessary to performing various functions. Due to this complexity the DNA of the eukaryotic organisms is thousand times more than the DNA of the prokaryotic organisms.

Answer 2

Compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells contain about one thousandth as much DNA.
In other words, the eukaryotes have about 1000 times amount of DNA compared to pokaryotes. Prokaryotes cells are quite small and simple in structure. They have no nucleus, no organelles and a small amount of DNA in the form of a single, circular chromosome. Eukaryotic cells on the other hand have a nucleus, multiple organelles and more DNA arranged in multiple, liner chromosomes.
