Most prokaryotes contain a single, circular DNA molecule.

True or false?

Asked by sandyy

Answer (3)

This is true! Prokaryotes are split into two classifications, bacteria and archea. Both of these are prokaryotes because they have no separation in their components, like DNA, organelles, and proteins.

True, they have circular DNA, whereas humans have linear DNA.

Answered by KatieOG | 2024-06-10

Yes, it is true that most prokaryotes contain a single, circular DNA molecule. Prokaryotes like bacteria and archaea have their DNA organized in this way in a region of the cell called the nucleoid. Additionally, they may carry plasmids, which are smaller circles of DNA that can contain beneficial genes.
