Question

Identify P and Q.
‘P’ is an organelle responsible for energy production.
‘Q’ is a region where genetic material is present in prokaryotes.

• A. P: Chloroplast, Q: Mitochondria
• B. P: Mitochondria, Q: Nucleoid
• C. P: Chloroplast, Q: Nucleus
• D. P: Ribosome, Q: Ribosome

Answer 1

The correct option is B P: Mitochondria, Q: Nucleoid

$\bullet$ Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus. Instead, their genetic material is present in the cytoplasm and the region where this is present is called nucleoid.
$\bullet$ Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, and it is responsible for the energy production in eukaryotic cell. Mitochondria is absent in prokaryotic cell.
