To analyze the statements regarding the similarities between you and the Streptococcus bacteria:
A. You both have genetic material in your nucleus. - This statement is false for bacteria. Streptococcus is a prokaryote, meaning it does not have a true nucleus; its genetic material is not enclosed in a membrane-bound nucleus like it is in eukaryotic cells (which includes human cells).
B. You and Streptococcus have nothing in common. - This statement is also false. While there are significant differences, there are also similarities at the cellular level, such as the presence of basic biochemical processes like metabolism.
C. You both belong to the same domain. - This statement is false. Humans (and all other eukaryotes) belong to the domain Eukarya, while Streptococcus belongs to the domain Bacteria.
D. You both are made up of cells. - This statement is true. Both humans and Streptococcus are composed of cells, even though the type of cells (eukaryotic for humans and prokaryotic for Streptococcus) differs.
Based on this analysis, the correct statement is D. You both are made up of cells.
