In Table 1, Organism 2 contains free-floating genetic material. Where does Organism 1 contain its genetic material?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking where Organism 1 contains its genetic material based on the provided diagrams and descriptions of two organisms from soil samples. It requires understanding of cell structure and functions.

More Information

Organism 1 is likely a eukaryotic cell since it contains a nucleus where the genetic material is stored.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing prokaryotic cells, which have free-floating genetic material, with eukaryotic cells, which have genetic material in a nucleus.
