Identify three major similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Answer: The similarities between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells are; they have lipid bilayer called cell membrane, Both have DNA as the basis of their genetic information, both cells have ribosomes which is involved in RNA translation and both cells have cytoplasm which is the medium in which biochemical reactions takes place in the cells.

Differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells in Clyde;

1. Eukaryotic cells are larger in size that prokaryotic cells.

2. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound nucleus where has prokaytotic cells have no nucleus.

3. Eukaryotic cells are often multicellular while prokaryotes are unicellular.

4. Eukaryotic cells DNA are arranged linear and complexed while prokaryotes DNA are in circular form.

5. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound large organelles, while prokaryotes have no membrane bound organelles.

6. Most eukaryotes undergo sexual reproduction wile prokaryotes undergo asexual reproduction mainly.

Explanation:

Eukaryotes are mostly multicellular organisms whose cells have membrane bound nucleus.

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that have no membrane bound nucleus in their cells.

All cells have a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound structures. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound structures called organelles.
