How does the organization of the bacterial genome differ from the organization of the eukaryotic genome?
A. The compaction of the eukaryotic genome involves structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) proteins, and the compaction of the bacterial genome does not.
B. Most bacterial chromosomes are circular and the eukaryotic chromosomes contained in the nucleus are not.
C. Bacterial chromosomes are made up of RNA and eukaryotic chromosomes are made up of DNA.
D. The eukaryotic genome is found on chromosomes and there are no chromosomes in bacterial cells.
E. Eukaryotic chromosomes have to be tightly packed to fit into the nucleus, and bacterial chromosomes do not require tight packing to fit into the cell.
B. Most bacterial chromosomes are circular and the eukaryotic chromosomes contained in the nucleus are not.
Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic chromosomes have to be tightly packed to fit into the cell, and the compaction process involves SMC proteins in both cases. Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic chromosomes are made up of double stranded DNA. Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells contain chromosomes, though the chromosomes are of different structure.
