Solution
The correct option is C Only one chromosome located in the nucleus Prokaryotes lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid. The cell wall of the prokaryote acts as an extra layer of protection that helps maintain cell shape and prevents dehydration.
Hence, the correct answer is 'One one chromosome located in the nucleus'.
