You are in a lab studying a newly discovered cell type. you observe a rigid cytoskeleton in this cell, along with a nucleus and a compartmentalized interior. how would you classify this cell?

It will be classified as a possibly transitional cell from prokaryotic cell to eukaryotic cell.

Explanation:

The above classification was reached based on some facts.  The prokaryotes are single cell organism while some eukaryotes are single celled and some are multi celled.

The presence of nucleus and the compartmentalized interior in the cell are characteristics of an eukaryote, and these are lacking in the prokaryote.

The rigid cytoskeleton is found in the prokaryotic cell, and its lacking in the eukaryotic cell.

So , this create the assumption that the cell is possibly transitioning from prokaryotic cell to eukaryotic cell.

an organism's phenotype is the  form of a trait  that it  displays. for  flowercolor, a pea  plant  can  display  a phenotype of purple or white flowers. an organism's  genotype  is the alleles of a gene it contains. based on his data, mendel concluded that a phenotype can be  determined  by more than one  genotype.
