Multiple Choice

What is the major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes?

The DNA molecules of bacterial chromosomes have a slightly different structure than those of eukaryotic chromosomes.

Eukaryotes have a single circular chromosome, whereas bacteria have several linear chromosomes.

Bacterial chromosomes have much more protein associated with the DNA than eukaryotes.

There is no difference between bacterial and eukaryotic chromosomes.

Bacteria usually have a single circular chromosome whereas eukaryotes have several linear chromosomes.

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the basic structure of chromosomes in both bacteria and eukaryotes. Bacterial chromosomes are typically circular, whereas eukaryotic chromosomes are linear.

Recognize that bacteria usually have a single circular chromosome, which is different from the multiple linear chromosomes found in eukaryotic cells.

Consider the organization of DNA: bacterial chromosomes are less complex in terms of associated proteins compared to eukaryotic chromosomes, which have histones and other proteins.

Note that the statement 'Eukaryotes have a single circular chromosome' is incorrect; eukaryotes have multiple linear chromosomes.

Identify the correct statement: Bacteria usually have a single circular chromosome, whereas eukaryotes have several linear chromosomes.
