Question

Which of the following is not true for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

(a) Same composition of plasma membrane

(b) Both contain shared metabolic pathways

(c) Genetic information encoded in DNA with similar genetic code

(d) Both contain Golgi apparatus for protein trafficking

The question was asked during an interview for a job.

My question is from Two Fundamentally Different Classes of Cells in division Introduction to Cell of Cell Biology

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) Both contain Golgi apparatus for protein trafficking

The explanation is: Prokaryotic cells do not have organelles such as Golgi Apparatus. However, the composition of plasma membrane is the same. The metabolic pathways such as TCA cycle and glycolysis take place in both. Both contain DNA as the genetic material.
