Biology CLEP Prep Practice Exam

Prokaryotic cells are able to self-replicate, due to their simpler structure and lack of a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells, being more complex and containing a nucleus, are not capable of self-replication. Archaea, while similar to prokaryotes, do not have the same self-replicating abilities. Viruses, while considered living organisms, are not technically cells and rely on host cells for replication. Therefore, prokaryotic cells are the only option listed that are able to self-replicate.
