MCQ
What makes the eukaryotic genome different from the prokaryotic genome:
  • A
    Distribution of the $DNA$ into several chromosomes
  • B
    Presence of much larger and linear $DNA$
  • C
    Presence of histones
  • All of the above

Answer

Correct option: D.
All of the above

Unlike the prokaryotic cells which have a single circular naked $DNA$ without any histones (only a few exceptions exist), the eukaryotic cells have a linear $DNA$ which exists in the form of several chromosomes. The $DNA$ is arranged in the form of chromosomes; It starts with wrapping the $DNA$ around histone proteins which are further folded in an ordered fashion to form a compact structure which is the chromosome.
