Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The genes that code for the enzymes in the glycolytic pathway are highly conserved across all forms of life, meaning that they are very similar between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This similarity in metabolic pathways reflects the fundamental metabolic processes that are necessary for all living organisms. The other choices, such as the presence of introns or genome size, are much more variable between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, with eukaryotes typically having larger genomes and more introns.
