Q. Genophore/bacterial genome or nucleoid is made of

AIPMTAIPMT 1993Biological Classification

Solution:

Bacteria has no nuclear membrane hence it is called as nucleoid. The genetic material is referred to as genophore. Genophore is the bacterial chromosome. It has a double stranded circular supercoiled DNA. DNA has about 10,000 genes in E.co/i. Double stranded DNA in bacteria is without histones.
