Question

Which of the following statements about prokaryotic cells is correct?

They reproduce asexually through a form of cell division called binary fission.

They contain multiple chromosomes floating in the cytoplasm.

They have a single DNA strand within a membrane-bound nucleus.

They reproduce sexually by exchanging genetic information during conjugation

Answer 1

What do you think prokaryotic cells usually mean?

Answer 2

Well I know that prokaryotic cells have a cell wall surrounding the membrane.

Answer 3

You have to know that the prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane-enclosed nucleus.

Answer 4

Instead of having chromosomal DNA, their genetic information is in a circular loop called a plasmid.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Prokaryotes have a nucleolus, not a membrane bound nucleus.

Answer 7

The genetic material of prokaryotes is generally distributed, without a nuclear membrane.

Answer 8

While they lack a nuclear membrane, they need a cellular membrane. This is what separates their insides from the outside.

Answer 9

I was thinking that the correct answer was the first one. That they reproduce asexually through a form of cell division called binary fusion. Is that correct?

Answer 10

That's correct, you got it right.

Answer 11

Ok thank you for explaining to help me understand it.

Answer 12

Your Welcome :)
