Which of the following statements are correct about prokaryotic cells?

• A. They do not have a well defined nucleus.
• B. They do not have membrane bound organelles.
• C. Their outermost layer is called plasma membrane.
• D. Their genetic material is called a nucleiod.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

Their genetic material is called a nucleiod.

Cells can be of two types based on the structure of nucleus- prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotes are generally unicellular organisms like bacteria. Prokaryotic cells do not have a well defined nucleus. Their genetic material is called a nucleoid. Membrane bound cell organelles are absent. They are surrounded by a cell wall.
