Discuss the difference in how prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells store their genetic material.
Answer: Eukaryotic cells store their DNA in a membrane bound nucleus, while prokaryotic cells store their DNA in a nucleoid region which is not membrane-bound. (See section 6.1 in the module) Question 2 pts
List TWO similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Answer: Both cells have a plasma membrane that acts as a semi-
permeable barrier, contain cytosol to suspend intracellular components, contain chromosomes with DNA, and contain ribosomes to manufacture proteins necessary for life.
