Which of the following is NOT a mechanism used by bacteria to condense their DNA?
A) Super coiling
B) Packaging the DNA with histone proteins
C) Looping of the DNA
D) Increase or decrease the number of turns in the DNA
E) Anchoring the DNA loops with DNA-binding proteins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bacteria do not package their DNA with histones, as these proteins are typically found in eukaryotic cells. Instead, bacteria use mechanisms such as supercoiling, looping, and anchoring the DNA with DNA-binding proteins to condense their DNA. They can also increase or decrease the number of turns in the DNA as needed.
