Sample A Sample B Sample C Sample D
Are organized into tissues ✔ ✔
Have a nucleus ✔ ✔ ✔
Have mitochondria ✔ ✔ ✔
Have lysosomes ✔
Which cell sample most likely came from prokaryotes?

Answer 1

Sample D.

Reason: prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (mitochondria, lysosomes) and do not form tissues; Sample D is the only one missing those features.
