Question

Which is a difference between prokaryote and eukaryote cells?

Markscheme

D

Examiners report

Only two thirds of candidates answered this apparently easy question on the differences between prokaryote and eukaryote cell structure correctly. This was most likely due to candidates not reading B carefully enough and choosing it as their answer, even though they did know that prokaryotes contain DNA. If they had carried on and read D they would probably have chosen it.
