In prokaryotes, the genetic material is without:
Correct answer: C. Membrane
- A. RNA
- B. DNA
- C. Membrane
- D. Cell membrane
Explanation
In prokaryotes, the genetic material is not enclosed by any membrane. Unlike eukaryotes, which have a true nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane, prokaryotes have a nucleoid region where the DNA lies freely suspended in the cytoplasm. There is no nuclear envelope, no membrane-bound nucleus, and no membrane around the DNA, which makes this the correct answer.
