How are prokaryotes and eukaryotes related?

Both types of cells have a nucleus
They both contain DNA in the form of chromosomes
Prokaryotes do not possess a nucleus
Eukaryotes are composed of several prokaryotic cells

The correct answer is: They both contain DNA in the form of chromosomes

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are related in that they both contain DNA in the form of chromosomes. This means that both types of cells store their genetic information in the same way. However, the other options are incorrect because - Option A is incorrect because eukaryotes have a true nucleus, while prokaryotes do not. - Option C is incorrect because prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotes do. - Option D is incorrect because eukaryotes are composed of a single cell, while prokaryotes can be composed of multiple cells.
