Four of the five answers below are traits that are signatures of a eukaryotic cell fossil. Select the exception.
A)small cell wall diameter
B)complex patterns
C)large size
D)biomarker such as steroids
E)cell wall with spikes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic cells do not have a cell wall, so the diameter of the cell wall is not a trait that can be used to identify eukaryotic cell fossils. The other options are all characteristics of eukaryotic cell fossils. Complex patterns refer to the shape and structure of the cell, large size reflects the increased complexity of eukaryotic cells compared to prokaryotic cells, biomarkers such as steroids are often found in eukaryotic cell membranes, and some eukaryotic cells have cell walls with spikes (e.g. diatoms).
