Answer
To determine which row presents accurate information, we must assess the relationship between each type of cell (prokaryote or eukaryote) and their respective DNA arrangements and gene products.
Prokaryotes typically contain circular DNA, often in plasmids, and do not produce proteins directly from their genetic material.
Eukaryotes usually have linear chromosomes and produce proteins based on the transcription and translation of their DNA.
We analyze each option:
Row A: Prokaryote with plasmid (correct) produces DNA (incorrect).
Row B: Prokaryote with linear chromosome (incorrect) produces protein (incorrect).
Row C: Eukaryote with plasmid (incorrect) produces DNA (invalid).
Row D: Eukaryote with linear chromosome (correct) produces protein (correct).
Based on this analysis, the only row presenting accurate information is Row D.
