Where is the majority of prokaryotic DNA found?
A
In the nucleoid region
B
In the nucleus
C
In the mitochondria
D
In the chloroplasts
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells in that they do not have a membrane-bound nucleus.
Recognize that prokaryotic DNA is typically found in a region called the nucleoid, which is not enclosed by a membrane.
Note that the nucleoid region is where the majority of the genetic material is located in prokaryotic cells.
Remember that mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles found in eukaryotic cells, not prokaryotic cells.
Conclude that the correct location for the majority of prokaryotic DNA is the nucleoid region, as prokaryotes lack a nucleus.
