Question

how does the organization of the bacterial genome differ from the organization of the eukaryotic genome? multiple choice most bacterial chromosomes are circular and the eukaryotic chromosomes contained in the nucleus are not. bacterial chromosomes are made up of rna and eukaryotic chromosomes are made up of dna. the eukaryotic genome is found in chromosomes and there are no chromosomes in bacterial cells. the compaction of the eukaryotic genome involves structural maintenance of chromosome (smc) proteins, and the compaction of the bacterial genome does not. eukaryotic chromosomes have to be tightly packed to fit into the nucleus, and bacterial chromosomes do not require tight packing to fit into the cell.

Explanation:

Bacterial genomes typically have circular chromosomes, while eukaryotic nuclear chromosomes are linear. Other options are incorrect: both bacterial and eukaryotic chromosomes are DNA-based; bacteria have chromosomes (circular); bacterial genome compaction uses SMC-like proteins; both genomes require packing to fit in cells.

Answer:

Most bacterial chromosomes are circular and the eukaryotic chromosomes contained in the nucleus are not.
