Question

In a prokaryotic cell, DNA is:

• A. Enclosed by nuclear envelop
• B. Lacking
• C. Not a genetic material
• D. without a membrane

Answer 1

Answer:

D. without a membrane

• The DNA in prokaryotes is contained in a central area of the cell called the nucleoid, which is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

• Many prokaryotes also carry small, circular DNA molecules called plasmids, which are distinct from the chromosomal DNA and can provide genetic advantages in specific environments.
