Question

Although a prokaryotic cell has no defined nucleus, yet DNA is not scattered throughout the cell. Explain.

Answer 1

DNA is negatively charged , positively charged proteins , hold it in places, in large loops (in a region termed as nucleiod) Detailed Answer : In prokaryotic cell, the DNA is not scattered throughout the cell but present in the form of a membrane less structure called nucleoid. The prokaryotic cells uses a specific mechanism to pack the genetic material tightly into this region. The prokaryotic cello do take up a measure against this by folding the fibres and forming genophore.
