Question
A scientist is collecting information on an unknown cell type. She notices that all the DNA is floating freely in the cell in a ring-shape and has a couple of plasmids as well. What does this tell her about the cell?
Responses

The correct response is:
**It is prokaryotic because there is no nucleus that holds the DNA, and the DNA is arranged in a circular shape.**
Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not have a nucleus; instead, their genetic material (DNA) is typically organized in a single circular chromosome and may also contain plasmids, which are small circular DNA molecules. In contrast, eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus that contains their linear DNA.
