anonymous · Answer

-They perform most of the same kinds of functions, and in the same ways.
- Both are enclosed by plasma membranes, filled with cytoplasm, and loaded with small structures called ribosomes. 
-Both have DNA which carries the archived instructions for operating the cell. 
Both have RNA
-The DNA in the two cell types is precisely the same kind of DNA, and the genetic code for a prokaryotic cell is exactly the same genetic code used in eukaryotic cells.
