How is the DNA in a prokaryote different from the DNA in a eukaryote?

AEukaryotes do not have alleles.
BOnly prokaryotes are diploid.
CProkaryotes do not have genes.
DDNA is in a nucleus in eukaryotes.

Verified Answer :

Answer: The correct answer is D) DNA is in a nucleus in eukaryotes.

Prokaryotes are those organisms that lack a well defined nucleus and membrane bound subcellular organelles (like endoplasmic reticulum, golgi complex, mitochondria). The genetic material lies in the cytoplasm of the cell in these organisms.

Example - Bacteria like E.coli.

On the other hand, eukaryotes are those organisms that contain a well defined nucleus that possesses the genetic material (DNA). These organisms also contain membrane bound subcellular organelles.

Example - Plants and animals.

The DNA (Deoxyribose nucleic acid) of the eukaryotes is different from that of prokaryotic DNA based on their nuclear structure, a number of a chromosome, their binding protein, and selective permeability.
