Which is true about both unicellular and multicellular organisms?

1. Both are the same size.
2. Both have DNA.
3. Both can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
4. Both are made of multiple cells.

1 answer

The statement that is true about both unicellular and multicellular organisms is:

2. Both have DNA.

Explanation:

  1. Both are the same size. - This is false. Unicellular organisms are typically much smaller than multicellular organisms.
  2. Both have DNA. - This is true. Both types of organisms have DNA, which carries the genetic information essential for life.
  3. Both can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic. - This is false. Unicellular organisms can be prokaryotic (like bacteria) or eukaryotic (like some protists), but multicellular organisms are always eukaryotic.
  4. Both are made of multiple cells. - This is false. Unicellular organisms consist of a single cell, whereas multicellular organisms are made up of many cells.

Thus, the only true statement is that both have DNA.
