Chromosomes in a bacterial cell can be 1–3 in number and

  1. are always circular
  2. are always linear
  3. can be either circular or linear, but never both within the same cell
  4. can be circular as well as linear within the same cell.

Answer

(1) are always circular

Solution

As per NCERT, the genetic material of a prokaryotic (bacterial) cell is basically naked and not enveloped by a nuclear membrane; the genomic DNA is the single chromosome, i.e. circular DNA.

⇒ Bacterial chromosomes (and plasmids) are described as circular DNA molecules.

∴ Chromosomes in a bacterial cell are always circular.

Answer: (1)
