Question

In prokaryotes, the genetic material is
(a) linear DNA with histones
(b) circular DNA with histones
(c) linear DNA without histones
(d) circular DNA without histones

Answer 1

(a) linear DNA with histones

Answer 2

In prokaryotes, the genetic material is the (d) circular DNA without histones.

• Prokaryotes are the organisms having a single cell, without the membrane-bound organs.
• They lack a real nucleus and have a nucleoid, which is a genetic material without the nuclear envelope.
• The genetic material in prokaryotes is single circular double-stranded DNA, with no histones. Their chromosome is haploid.
