Question

The prokaryotic cells are characterized by _______________.

• A. A distant nuclear membrane
  
• B. Distinct chromosomes
• C. Absence of chromatin material
• D. Absence of nuclear membrane

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Absence of nuclear membrane

Prokaryotes lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid. So, the prokaryotic cells are characterized by a distant nuclear membrane.

Hence the correct option is D.
