Question

both prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain dna, the genetic material that tells cells what to do and allows them to replicate and divide. but there are some key differences between the two. in eukaryotes, dna is located inside the cells membrane - bound nucleus and has a linear structure with two ends: the familiar twisted ladder shape. by contrast, prokaryotic dna typically takes the shape of a single large loop called a circular chromosome, with no beginning or end. and because prokaryotes do not have a membrane - bound nucleus, their dna usually floats freely in the cytoplasm. which of these is true of prokaryotic dna? a it is contained inside the cell nucleus. b it has two distinct ends. c it is circular in form. d it does not touch the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

The text states prokaryotic DNA is a single - large loop (circular chromosome) with no beginning or end and floats freely in cytoplasm.

Answer:

C. It is circular in form.
