MULTIPLE CHOICE ss
1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have supercoiled
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s s ss ss ss ss ss
ss DNA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the

a. A single circular chromosome
s s ss s s
b. A nucleus s s
c. Free-floating nuclear material ss ss
d. No organelles ss
ANS: B
The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s s ss ss
s s nucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular
