Question

where is the genetic material located in a prokaryotic cell?
a. capsule
b. nucleoid
c. cytoplasm
d. nucleus
which of the following structures is not found in prokaryotic cells?
a. nucleus
b. cytoplasm
c. cell membrane
d. ribosomes

Explanation:

• First question: Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus. Their genetic material (DNA) is found in the nucleoid region. The capsule is a protective layer, cytoplasm is the fluid - filled region, and prokaryotes don't have a membrane - bound nucleus.
• Second question: Prokaryotic cells have cytoplasm (where metabolic reactions occur), a cell membrane (for protection and transport), and ribosomes (for protein synthesis). But they lack a membrane - bound nucleus.

Answer:

• First question: B. Nucleoid
• Second question: A. Nucleus
