NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 5. molecular basis of inheritance
Given below are two statements: Statement \(I\): In prokaryotes, the positively charged DNA is held with some negatively charged proteins in a region called nucleoid. Statement \(II\): In eukaryotes, the negatively charged DNA is wrapped around the positively charged histone octamer to form nucleosome. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is true.
- B Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true.
- C Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are false.
- D Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is false.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is true.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In prokaryotes, the negatively charged \(DNA\) is held with some positively charged proteins in a region termed as nucleoid. In eukaryotes, the negatively charged \(DNA\) is wrapped around the positively charged histone octamer to form a structure called nucleosome.
