Question 14 • PA Human Anatomy & Physiology A 2026-2027 SMITH IC

Which statement is most likely to apply to a cell that has DNA within its cytoplasm?

Answer
A
It lacks ribosomes.
B
It has membrane-bound organelles.
C
It is multicellular.
D
It performs all functions for the organism.

Explanation

A cell with DNA in its cytoplasm is most likely a prokaryotic cell, because it has no nucleus to enclose its DNA. Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles but do have ribosomes, and each cell carries out all the functions needed for its organism. Therefore, “It performs all functions for the organism” is the best choice.
