Answer:
Prokaryotes
- Membrane-bound organelles are absent
- Genetic material is freely distributed in the cell and do not have a nuclear membrane
- Circular DNA
- Unicellular organisms
- Meiosis is absent
- Ribosome is 70S type
- Naked DNA without any histone proteins
- Microtubules are absent in the flagellated organisms
- Haploid organisms
- Extrachromosomal genetic material called plasmid might be present
- Sexual reproduction is absent
- Respiration by mesosome
- No cytoskeleton
- Cell division by binary fission usually
- Nucleolus is present
Eukaryotes
- Membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, chloroplast is present
- Genetic material is inside the nucleus enveloped by a nuclear membrane
- Linear DNA
- Multicellular and Unicellular organisms
- Meiosis might be present
- Ribosome is 80S type
- DNA is bound to histone proteins for packaging the DNA
- Diploid and Polyploidy organisms
- Plasmids are absent
- Respiration by mitochondria
- Cytoskeleton present.
