Question

The Bacterial genome is called as
A. Nucleus
B. Nucleolus
C. Nucleoid
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Bacteria belong to Kingdom Monera.
They are the sole members of Kingdom Monera. Bacteria are prokaryotes.
They do not have a nuclear membrane present.

Complete answer: The nucleoid meaning nucleus like is an irregular-shaped region within the cell of a prokaryote that contains all or most of the genetic material called genophore.
In contrast to the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell, it is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
The genetic information is naked.
The genome of prokaryotic organisms generally is a circular, a double standard piece of DNA, of which multiple copies may exist at any time. The length of the genome varies widely.

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Additional Information: Characteristics of Kingdom Monera .
1. The monerans are unicellular organisms.
2. The ribosome of Kingdom Monera is the 70S ribosomes.
3. The DNA is naked and is not bound by a nuclear membrane.
4. It does not contain organs like mitochondria, lysosomes, plastids, Golgi bodies, and endoplasmic reticulum, etc.
5. Some bacteria are used for household purposes. Example lactobacillus
6. Some bacteria are disease-causing. But most of the bacteria are beneficial for us.

Note: In kingdom Monera most extensive metabolic diversity are present.
They are found in almost all types of climatic conditions in the world.
Bacteria can survive in adverse conditions.
