The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrectly described feature of prokaryotic cells in comparison to eukaryotic cells, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Characteristics of Prokaryotic Cells:** - Prokaryotic cells are typically unicellular and lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. - They are generally smaller in size compared to eukaryotic cells. 2. **Understand the Characteristics of Eukaryotic Cells:** - Eukaryotic cells possess a membrane-bound nucleus and various organelles, such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. - Eukaryotic cells are usually larger than prokaryotic cells. 3. **Analyze the Given Options:** - **Option 1: Cell Size** - Prokaryotic cells are smaller than eukaryotic cells. This statement is correct. - **Option 2: Multiplication** - Prokaryotic cells multiply faster due to their smaller size, while eukaryotic cells multiply slower. This statement is incorrect as it suggests that multiplication is slow in prokaryotic cells. - **Option 3: Ribosomes** - Prokaryotic cells have 70S ribosomes, while eukaryotic cells have 80S ribosomes. This statement is correct. - **Option 4: Centrioles** - Centrioles are absent in prokaryotic cells and present in eukaryotic cells. This statement is correct. 4. **Identify the Incorrect Feature:** - From the analysis, we find that **Option 2** is the incorrectly described feature, as it states that multiplication is slow in prokaryotic cells, which is not true. 5. **Conclusion:** - The feature that is incorrectly described for prokaryotic cells in comparison to eukaryotic cells is that multiplication is slow in prokaryotic cells. ### Final Answer: The incorrectly described feature is: **Multiplication is slow in prokaryotic cells.** ---
