You are a scientist working in a research lab. You receive a new cell specimen that you
must examine under a microscope. After staining the cell to highlight its structures and
examining it under a microscope, you notice a small, dark circle in the center of the cell.
Next, you measure the cell and determine that it is 100 um long. Finally, you learn that
the sample was taken from a recently discovered animal species. Use this information to
answer the question below.
Would you classify the mystery cell as a prokaryote or a eukaryote? Explain. Your
reasoning should be based off of the characteristics of prokaryotes and
eukaryotes that you learned in class this week.

Based on the above-given information from the research lab it can be classified as eukaryotic as the center of the cell lies the nucleus and the prokaryote dot have a nucleus.

What is a specimen?

A specimen is an individual of the plant or animal and is used as an example of the species. It may be used for the scientific study of the display.

Based on the lab the new specimen is examined under the microscope. As the appearance of the small and dark circles in the center there exists a nucleus. As per the research the specimen is a eukaryotic as the darker region has a nucleus in the center.
