Question

29. A teacher presented the two models below to the dass. The models represent a eukaryote and prokaryote cell. The teacher asked the students to label the structure of each cell that contains the genetic code and

tell where it is located.

structure C, located in the cytoplasm in Cell A and structure C, located in the cytoplasm in Cell B
structure H, located in the cytoplasm in Cell A and structure A, located in the nucleus in Cell B
structure C, located in the nucleus in Cell A and structure C, located in the cytoplasm in Cell B
structure H, located in the cytoplasm in Cell A and structure A, located in the cytoplasm in Cell B

Answer 1

C. structure C, located in the nucleus in Cell A and structure C, located in the cytoplasm in Cell B

Step-by-step explanation:

This question contains images that depicts an eukaryotic cell (animal) and a prokaryotic cell (bacteria). According to the question, a teacher asked the students to label the structure of each cell that contains the genetic code (DNA) and tell where it is located.

In an eukaryotic cell, the genetic material (DNA) which contains the genetic code is located inside a well defined membranous structure called NUCLEUS while the genetic material in a prokaryotic cell is found naked in a region of the cytoplasm called NUCLEOID as they lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Based on this explanation;

- Structure C is the genetic material (DNA) which contains the genetic code of cell A (eukaryotic cell), hence, the genetic code of cell A is found in structure C, which in turn is located in the centrally-placed NUCLEUS.

- Structure C is the genetic material containing the genetic code of cell B (prokaryotic cell), hence, the genetic code of cell B is found in structure C, which in turn is located in the CYTOPLASM.
