Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prokaryotic DNA is located in the nucleoid region, which is not a distinct membrane-bound compartment but a condensed region of the cytoplasm where the bacterial chromosome is located. The capsid region is found in viruses, not bacteria. The endospore region is where bacterial endospores are produced, and it does not contain DNA. The peptidoglycan region is a part of the bacterial cell wall and does not contain DNA. The pili region is the region where pili, which are hair-like structures on the surface of bacteria, are located and it does not contain DNA.
