Answer 1

Correct answer: "Prokaryotes tend to only have one chromosome while eukaryotes have many."

Explanation: Bacterial (prokaryotic) genomes are usually a single circular chromosome (often much smaller than eukaryotic genomes) and lack nucleosomes; eukaryotic genomes consist of multiple linear chromosomes organized with histones into nucleosomes.
