Question

Check all that apply. In prokaryotic cells
A) genetic information is contained within a nucleoid region.
B) genetic material is organized as a single circular chromosome.
C) membrane bound organelles are found in the cytoplasm.
D) a cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane.

Accepted Answer

Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles, which eliminates option C. The genetic information in prokaryotic cells is contained within a nucleoid region, which is not a membrane-bound organelle (option A). The genetic material is organized as a single circular chromosome (option B). Additionally, prokaryotic cells have a cell wall surrounding the plasma membrane, which provides structure and protection (option D).
