Question

Prokaryotes may contain both plasmid and chromosomal genomes. Classify each description as a characteristic of prokaryotic plasmids, prokaryotic chromosomes, or both. Plasmids only Chromosomes only Characteristics of both used as a vector in biotechnology replicates only during contains a small assortment of supplementary genes nssortment ofprokaryotic usually circular in shape replicates independently of the process of prokaryotic fission found in the cell's nucleoid made of nucleotides holds genes required for survival transfers genes during conjugation

Explanation / Answer

Answer is B

intron is the term indicating the DNA sequence which remove when the time of RNA splicing during muturation of final RNA.

Bacteria is a procariotic organism, which means they are unicellular.

They have no nucleus in their cell.

At the time of gene expression in bacteria, the steps like transcription and translation are take place simultaneously. So there no need for intron.

But in case of eukaryotes they contain nucleus in their cell. The step transcription will take place in nucleus and second step translation will take place in out of the nucleus (which is not a simultaneous process). At this time intron will act in translation step

And also they are multi cell organisms, that why there may need to express the gene in different ways for different types of cells. That time intron have space to express different DNAs.
