Compare and contrast some features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Match each statement with the correct cell type. 1. Lack of membrane-bound nucleus.2. DNA in cytoplasm.3. Single, circular chromosome.4. Membrane-bound nucleus.5. DNA inside nucleus.6. Multiple chromosomes. 7. Prokaryotic Cell. 8. Eukaryotic Cell.

Prokaryotic cells are cells with simpler features without membrane-bound organelles and nuclei. They are unlike the more complex eukaryotic cells with specialized organelles like the nucleus and membrane-bound mitochondrion, chloroplast, lysosomes, etc.

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have some basic features in common such as the presence of ribosomes for the synthesis of proteins and cell membrane for maintaining homeostasis. However, the absence of nuclei means that prokaryotic cells have their genetic materials which could be as simple as a circular chromosome lying freely in the cytoplasm.

That being said, each of the statements in the illustration can be matched as follows:

Prokaryotic cells: lack of membrane-bound nucleus, DNA in cytoplasm, single circular chromosomes

Eukaryotic cells: membrane-bound nucleus, DNA inside the nucleus, multiple chromosomes.
