  1. Presence of cell wall

  2. Presence of 80s ribosome

  3. Absence of genetic material

  4. Presence of 70s ribosome

D Correct answer
Explanation

Prokaryotic cells have 70S ribosomes composed of 50S and 30S subunits. This is a fundamental distinction from eukaryotic cells which have 80S ribosomes. Prokaryotes DO have cell walls (peptidoglycan in bacteria) and DO have genetic material (circular DNA), so options A and C are incorrect. Option B is incorrect because 80S ribosomes are eukaryotic.
