उत्तर

In prokaryotes like E. coli, the DNA is not scattered throughout the cell despite the absence of a defined nucleus. Because DNA is negatively charged, it is held by certain positively charged proteins within a specific region called the ‘nucleoid’. In this nucleoid region, the DNA is organised into large loops that are stabilised by these proteins.

Read the following and answer from given below:

In prokaryotes, DNA is circular and present in the cytoplasm but in eukaryotes, DNA is linear and mainly confined to the nucleus. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long polymer of nucleotides. In 1953, the first correct double-helical structure of DNA was worked out by Watson and Crick. Based on the X-ray diffraction data produced by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin. It is composed of three components, i.e., A phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. Different forms of DNA are B-DNA, Z-DNA, A-DNA, C-DNA, and D-DNA.
