The DNA molecule in prokaryotes is:
Correct answer: A. Single, circular, double stranded molecule not bound by membrane
- A. Single, circular, double stranded molecule not bound by membrane
- B. Double, circular molecule
- C. Linear, double stranded molecule
- D. Single, circular, double stranded and membrane bound
Explanation
Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles so, DNA is not bound by a membrane, and DNA in prokaryotes is a single, circular double strand.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
