Ascientist is looking at cells through the microscope. to determine if they are prokaryotic or eukaryota, what should she look for? answer

1. dna

2. nucleus

3. ribosomes

4. er

The correct option no is 2. To determine if they are prokaryotic or Eukaryota she should look for the nucleus.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes can be described as organisms that are single-celled and lack membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotes can be described as multicellular organisms and they possess membrane-bound organelles.

In Eukaryotes, the hereditary material is present inside a membrane-bound organelle termed as the nucleus. The prokaryotes do not have a nucleus and their hereditary material is present in the cytoplasm. Hence, option no 2 is correct.

Other structures like DNA and ribosomes are present both in the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
