Question 5 • Basic Biology S2

Which characteristic do many protists share with bacteria and archaea?

Answer
A
They have membrane-bound organelles.
B
They feature a nucleus.
C
They are unicellular.
D
They can only reproduce sexually.

Explanation

Many protists, like bacteria and archaea, are unicellular, meaning they consist of one cell. Protists are eukaryotes and have a nucleus, while bacteria and archaea do not, so a nucleus is not a shared characteristic. The correct choice is “They are unicellular.”
