- Genetically speaking, prokaryotes are different from eukaryotes because: a. prokaryotes usually have one main circular chromosome, whereas eukaryotes have multiple linear chromosomes prokaryotes do not usually have histone proteins to package their DNA prokaryotes do not have a nucleus to house their DNA as eukaryotes do prokaryotes have less total DNA than do eukaryotes All of the abovearrow_forwardYou are tutoring a fellow student about the genomes of prokaryotes. You ask them to give you one important characteristic about the genomes of bacteria. Which of the following statement given by your student is correct? -Bacterial cells can contain DNA called plasmids. -The bacterial chromosome is not contained within a nucleus but, rather, is found at the nucleolus -Bacterial genomes are diploid throughout most of the cell cycle. -Bacterial genomes are composed of linear DNA. -Bacterial cells have multiple chromosomes, "packed" with a relatively large amount of protein.arrow_forwardCompare the RNA and protein components of prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes.arrow_forward
