Solution

Chromatin

  1. Chromatin is a DNA-protein complex not found in prokaryotic cells.
  2. A prokaryote's genetic material is called a genophore.
  3. It's called a prokaryotic chromosome since it's made up of supercoiled DNA.
  4. The genophore is squeezed by a process called supercoiling.
  5. In prokaryotic cells, the nucleoid is an irregularly shaped area that contains the genophore.
