If a bacterial chromosome were inserted into a eukaryotic cell, would it be stable and segregate like eukaryotic chromosomes do during mitosis and meiosis? (Select all that apply.)
A) It would not be stable due to the lack of a eukaryotic-specific origin of replication; hence, it could not replicate properly in a eukaryotic cell.
B) It would be generally stable because the chemical nature of DNA is the same regardless of the cell type.
C) Due to the lack of centromeres on prokaryotic chromosomes, the chromosomes will not segregate normally during cell division.
D) The prokaryotic chromosome can be induced to be stabilized by cleavage of circular form to mimic linear eukaryotic chromosome.
E) The bacterial chromosome would be lost and eventually degraded.
