The attribute that is common to both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells is **the use of DNA as the information-storage molecule**.
Both types of cells utilize DNA to store their genetic information, although the organization and location of DNA differ between the two cell types. Prokaryotic cells typically have a single circular DNA molecule located in the nucleoid region, while eukaryotic cells have linear DNA organized into chromosomes within a membrane-enclosed nucleus.
