Question

Why is bacterial DNA circular?


Open in App
Solution

Bacterial DNA is circular because:

  1. Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotic organisms that lack membrane-bound cell organelles.
  2. The true nucleus is absent and is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
  3. As a result, it is made up of double-stranded circular DNA.
