In Order to Be Functional, a Eukaryotic Chromosome Requires All

Question

In order to be functional, a eukaryotic chromosome requires all of the following EXCEPT:
A)a centromere.
B)origins of replication.
C)a plasmid.
D)telomeres.
E)A centromere and origins of replication are both correct.

Accepted Answer

A plasmid is not necessary for a eukaryotic chromosome to be functional. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that are found in some bacteria and often carry accessory genes. Eukaryotic chromosomes do not typically have plasmids. However, they do require a centromere, origins of replication, and telomeres in order to function properly.
