Identify the correct statements from the following options.
1. Bacteria typically store their single standard DNA in a single, circular chromosome.
2. Bacterial DNA is present in nucleus.
3. Some bacteria have multiple chromosomes.
4. The DNA of bacteria is not associated with histones.
5. Bacteria don't have smaller, circular DNA molecules called plasmids.
6. E. coli contain only about 4.6 million base pairs compared to the average human chromosome's 139 million.

The correct option is C 4,5&6
Bacteria typically store their DNA in a single, circular chromosome, which is located in the nucleoid (prokaryotes, such as bacteria, do not have a true nucleus). However, some bacteria have multiple chromosomes, and some bacteria also have linear chromosomes. The DNA of bacteria is not associated with histones; however, there are analogous proteins around which the DNA wraps.
Compared to a human chromosome, a bacterial chromosome is typically much smaller. For example, the chromosome of E. coli contains only about 4.6 million base pairs compared to the average human chromosome's 139 million.
