The most likely explanation is that they are genetically different. the cells are not undergoing transcription and translation. the cells have different cell wall compositions. they have different gene expression.arrow_forwardGenetically speaking, prokaryotes are different from eukaryotes because: a. prokaryotes usually have one main circular chromosome, whereas eukaryotes have multiple linear chromosomes prokaryotes do not usually have histone proteins to package their DNA prokaryotes do not have a nucleus to house their DNA as eukaryotes do prokaryotes have less total DNA than do eukaryotes All of the abovearrow_forward

Which of the following characteristics of chloroplastsand/or mitochondria make them seem more similar tobacterial cells than to eukaryotic cells?a. Translation is sensitive to chloramphenicol anderythromycin.b. Alternate codons are used in mitochondria genes.c. Introns are present in organelle genes.d. DNA in organelles is not arranged innucleosomes.arrow_forwardViruses display many of the characteristics of living organisms. In particular, they reproduce, creating new virus particles. During reproduction, viruses make copies of their genetic material, and some of the copies contain mutations that are beneficial to the virus. For example, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), the virus that causes the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) mutates so often that its surface proteins change faster than we can develop antiviral drugs. New drug-resistant strains of HIV are appearing constantly. However, viruses can reproduce only after entering a living cell of an organism, because viruses hijack the cell’s machinery and use it to produce new viruses. Where does that combination of characteristics place viruses on the scale of nonlife to life? Are viruses living organisms? Nonliving? If neither of those categories fits the properties of viruses, how should they be classified?arrow_forward
