NA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student?
lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp




a. A single circular chromosome

b. A nucleus lp




c. Free-floating nuclear material lp lp




d. No organelles lp




ANS: B lp




The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its nucleus

floating nuclear material describes a prokaryotic cell, which would not have a distinct nucleus. Eu

karyotic cells have membrane- lp lp lp



bound cellular components called organelles. No organelles describe a prokaryotic cell.

ost of the genetic information be contained?
lp lp lp lp lp lp




a. Mitochondria
b. Ribosome
c. Nucleolus

ANS: C lp




The region of the cell that contains genetic material, including a large amount of ribonucleic acid,
lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp lp



most of the DNA, and DNA-
lp lp lp lp lp



binding proteins, is the nucleolus. The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration. The ribosom

4. The fluid- lp



mosaic model for biologic membranes describes membrane behavior. According to this

ANS: B lp




Integral membrane proteins float freely in the fluid lipid bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins are
