Examine the table that highlights the structural similarities and differences between four cell types. One student (Student 1) claims that cell l is the most distantly related to eukaryotic cells while another student (Student 2) claims that cell lll is most distantly
related to eukaryotic cells. Which explanation is most accurate between these two contrasting claims?
es )
A)
Student 1 has an explanation that is supported because eukaryotic cells do
not have linear chromosomes.
B)
Student 2 has an explanation that is supported because eukaryotic cells
can not have single chromosomes as their genome.
Student 2 has an explanation that is supported because eukaryotic cells
have a nucleus, which is lacking completely in cell III.
D)
Student 1 has an explanation that is supported because eukaryotic cells
are not photosynthetic, so it cannot be closely related to eukaryotes.
