2.  eukaryotes do not have as much cytoplasm as do prokaryotes
3.  prokaryotes have very few organelles
4.  prokaryotes do not reproduce
 

Question 2
 After the DNA replicates, it is pulled to either side of the cell by attaching to
   1.  a network of ribosomes
2.  microtubules in the cytoplasm
3.  intermediate filaments in the cytoplasm
4.  the cell membrane
 

Question 3
 About how many times its original size does a prokaryote grow before the cell membrane pinches the cell into two daughter cells?
   1.  it does not grow before the cytoplasm pinches
2.  two times
3.  three times
4.  four times
