Question
The eukaryotic genome differs from the prokaryotic genome because
Options
A.DNA is complexed with histones in prokaryotes
B.repetitive sequences are present in eukaryotes
C.genes in the former cases are organised into operons
D.DNA is ircular and single stranded in prokaryotes
Solution
A major component (20 - 50 %) of the eukaryotic genome consists of DNA which does not code for any protein. This protion consists of certain base sequenences which are repeated many times (hence, called which repetitve DNA). DNA of prokaryotes does not contain histones nor it is single stranded .
