7. What is a difference seen in the Chromosomes of prokaryotes and eukaryotes?a. Prokaryotes usually have circular chromosomes, whileeukaryotes have linear chromosomesb. Eukaryotes usually have circular chromosomes, while prokaryotes have linear chromosomesc. Prokaryotes can have over 10,000 chromosomes, while eukaryotes only have 1 or 2 chromosomed. Eukaryotes can have 10,000 chromosomes, while prokaryotes only have 1 or 2 chromosomes



Answer :

Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have their DNA packed into chromosomes, but they have several differences:

• Prokaryotic chromosomes are circular,, while ,eukaryotes chromosomes are linear.

,

• Chromosomes in eukaryotes are in the nuclei, while in prokaryotes there is a nucleoid, that lacks a membrane

,

• Eukaryote chromosomes have proteins called histones, while prokaryotes don't.

,

• Prokaryotes have only 1 chromosome, but they can have extrachromosomal DNA in structures called plasmids.

From the options of the question, the right one would be A, prokaryotes usually have circular chromosomes, while eukaryotes' chromosomes are linear.
