Which of the following is most likely the number of base pairs in a bacterial chromosome?
- a. 4,000,000
- b. 4000
- c. 400
- d. 40
Introduction:
Bacterial cell contains DNA, RNA, and protein. Bacterial cells do not contain nucleus and therefore the nucleic acid is present in the center of the cell in the form of nucleoid region. Chromosome of the bacterial cell contains compact circular DNA associated with bounded proteins.
Answer to Problem 1MC
Correct answer:
Option (a) is given as “
Explanation of Solution
Justify reason for the correct statement:
Nucleoid region of the bacterial cell contains circular chromosome. On an average, a bacterial chromosome contain about
Hence, option (a) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (b) is given as “
Bacterial chromosome comprises of
Option (c) is given as “
On an average,
Option (d) is given as “
Bacterial chromosome contains
Hence, options (b), (c), and (d) are incorrect.
The number of base pair present in a bacterial chromosome is
