ANS: ghB
The ghcell ghdescribed ghis gha gheukaryotic ghcell, ghso ghit ghhas ghhistones ghand gha ghsupercoiled ghDNA ghwithin
ghits ghnucleus; ghthus, ghthe ghnucleus ghshould ghbe ghobserved.
A ghsingle ghcircular ghchromosome ghis ghcharacteristic ghof ghprokaryotic ghcells, ghwhich ghdo ghnot ghhave
ghhistones.
Free-floating ghnuclear ghmaterial ghdescribes gha ghprokaryotic ghcell, ghwhich ghwould ghnot ghhave gha
distinct ghnucleus.
gh
Eukaryotic ghcells ghhave ghmembrane ghbounded ghcellular ghcomponents ghcalled ghorganelles. ghNo
organelles ghdescribes gha ghprokaryotic ghcell.
