Question

Type of genetic material found in bacteria is

• A. RNA bound to protein
• B. DNA bound to protein
• C. DNA not bound to protein
• D. RNA not bound to protein

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

DNA not bound to protein

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms without membrane-bound organelles. They lack a true nucleus. Instead, they have nucleoid, a genetic material without the nuclear envelope. In prokaryotes, the genetic material is single circular double-stranded DNA without histone protein. Example of prokaryotes include bacteria.

Thus, the correct answer is 'DNA not bound to protein.'
