Question
Which statement is true about the organization of DNA in eukaryotes compared to prokaryotes?
Eukaryotic chromosomes contain introns, while prokaryotic chromosomes do not.
Eukaryotic chromosomes are organized into operons, while prokaryotes are not.
Eukaryotic chromosomes are “naked,” while prokaryotic DNA is highly coiled around proteins.
Eukaryotic chromosomes contain one initiating sequence that allows for DNA replication, while a prokaryotic chromosome contains several starting sequences.
a)Eukaryotic chromosomes contain introns, while prokaryotic chromosomes do not.
b)Eukaryotic chromosomes are organized into operons, while prokaryotes are not.
c)Eukaryotic chromosomes are “naked,” while prokaryotic DNA is highly coiled around proteins.
d)Eukaryotic chromosomes contain one initiating sequence that allows for DNA replication, while a prokaryotic chromosome contains several starting sequences.
Explanation / Answer
a. Eukaryotic chromosomes contain non coding sequences called introns and coding sequences called exons while in prokaryotes these introns are absent.-True
rest are false
prokaryotic chromosomes are organized into operons.
Prokaryotic chromosomes are naked i.e.DNA is found naked in the center portion.
Eukaryotic chromosomes contain many starting sequences while prokaryotic contains only one.
