Question
In prokaryotes, genetic material is present in
- Cell wall
- Cell membrane
- Nucleus
- Cytoplasm
Hint:
Prokaryotes mean "before kernel" in the Greek language.
The correct answer is: Cytoplasm
- In prokaryotes, the genetic material is present in the cytoplasm.
- Prokaryotes refer to organisms that lack proper membrane-bound organelles and the nucleus. These types of organisms have cytoplasm and the rest organelles float in it due to the absence of membranes.
- As we know, the genetic material in eukaryotes is normally stored in the nucleus and since the prokaryotes lack a nucleus, thus, their genetic material floats in the cytoplasm.
Eukaryotes store their genetic information in the nucleus.
