Question

DNA of E. Coli is not associated with histone proteins

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

E.coli is a prokaryotic organism in which the DNA is not packed within the nucleus. The nucleus is absent in them, instead, nucleoid is present. As they do not need the packaging of DNA, they do not have histone proteins associated with the DNA. Their DNA is naked and is associated with some proteins called the nucleoid-associated proteins. Histone proteins are the features of eukaryotic DNA.

Hence, the correct answer is 'True'
