Cell Type
Eukaryotic cell
Prokaryotic cell
Characteristics
True membrane-bound nucleus; multiple linear chromosomes; divides by mitosis or meiosis
No membrane-bound nucleus; single circular chromosome; divides by binary fission
Correct Answer
(1) Prokaryotic cell,No membrane-bound nucleus; single circular chromosome; divides by binary fission
(2) Eukaryotic cell,True membrane-bound nucleus; multiple linear chromosomes; divides by mitosis or meiosis
Explanation
Key distinctions:
| Feature | Prokaryote | Eukaryote |
|---|---|---|
| Nucleus | Absent (nucleoid) | Present (membrane-bound) |
| Chromosome | Single, circular | Multiple, linear |
| Division | Binary fission | Mitosis / Meiosis |
| Organelles | None (membrane-bound) | Many types |
