One property that distinguishes cells in domain Eukarya from those in domain Bacteria is the presence of
a. a cell wall.
b. DNA.
c. flagella
d. membranous organelles.

Introduction:
The prokaryotes and eukaryotes are divided into three domains. The domain Eukarya consists of all the eukaryotes. All the eubacteria come under the domain Bacteria and domain Archaea consists of all the archaebacteria.
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles whereas prokaryotes lacks it. Therefore, option d is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
In prokaryotes the organelles do not have membranes. Even the genetic material is just a single unbound chromosome called nucleoid. On the other hand eukaryotes have a membrane on all the organelles. Some organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplast have a double membrane.
Option d. is given as “membranous organelles”.
As, “the property that distinguishes cells in domain Eukarya from those in domain Bacteria is the presence of membranous organelles”, is the right answer.
Hence, option d. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “a cell wall”.
Bacteria as well as many eukaryotes like plants and fungi possess a cell wall. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option b. is given as “DNA”.
DNA is the genetic material of all the organisms except a few viruses, thus it is present in all the prokaryotes and eukaryotes. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option c. is given as “flagella”.
Bacteria have flagella and so do certain protists like Euglena. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options a., b. and c. are incorrect.
The presence of membrane bound organelles in eukaryotes differentiates them from prokaryotes.

- What is this?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology A-C components of the question are corresponding to attached image labeled 1. D component of the question is corresponding to attached image labeled 2. For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA?

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB. If you were to do gene therapy to fix this problem, briefly explain what type of gene therapy youwould use to correct this. Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help.
