What is the name of the region where double-stranded single circular DNA is found in the prokaryotic cell?
Correct answer: D. Nucleoid
- A. Proton Nucleus
- B. Nucleus
- C. Nucleoplasm
- D. Nucleoid
Explanation
The name of the region where double-stranded circular DNA is found in the prokaryotic cell is the nuclecid. The nucleoid is a region of the cytoplasm that contains the genetic material of the cell. In prokaryotic cells, the nucleoid is not surrounded by a membrane, as it is in eukaryotic cells. Instead, the DNA is simply condensed and held together by proteins.
