Question

Which of the following is present in a prokaryotic cell?

• A. Nucleoid
• B. Prochromosome
• C. Genophore
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Bacteria is a prokaryotic cell which does not contain well-developed membrane-bound nucleus. The genetic material of bacteria is present in a central nucleoid which has irregular shape and dispersed in the cytoplasm. The genetic material in nucleoid is called as genophore. The genophore is membrane bound and is also called as prochromosome because it lacks histone proteins and is circular without well-defined ends or telomeres.
So, the correct answer is option D.
