Question

Which of the following choices correctly compares prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes? (1 point)
Prokaryotic chromosomes are linear while eukaryotic chromosomes are circular.
• Prokaryotic chromosomes are wrapped into structures called nucleosomes.
• Prokaryotes tend to only have one chromosome while eukaryotes have many.
Prokaryotic chromosomes are typically much larger than eukaryotic ones.

Answer 1

The correct choice is:
- "Prokaryotes tend to only have one chromosome while eukaryotes have many."

Explanations:
- Prokaryotic chromosomes are typically circular and not organized into nucleosomes; eukaryotic chromosomes are linear and wrapped around histone-based nucleosomes. Eukaryotic genomes are generally larger than prokaryotic ones.
