Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Genophore bacterial genome or nucleoid is made of
A
histones and non-histones
B
RNA and histones
C
a single double stranded DNA
D
a single stranded DNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘A single double-stranded DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genophore is the bacterial chromosome. It has a double stranded circular supercoiled DNA. DNA has about 10, 000 genes in E.co/i. Double stranded DNA in bacteria is without histones.

Detailed explanation-3: -It consists of nucleic acids, DNA or RNA but lacks histone proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -A genophore is the DNA of a prokaryote. It is commonly referred to as a prokaryotic chromosome. The term “chromosome” is misleading, because the genophore lacks chromatin. The genophore is compacted through a mechanism known as supercoiling, but a chromosome is additionally compacted through the use of chromatin.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleoid consists of a single circular strand of DNA duplex which is supercoiled.
