Which one of the following assists in the joining of loops during packaging of DNA in prokaryotes?
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
In prokaryotes, the DNA is not enclosed in a nucleus but is organized into a compact structure called the nucleoid. The circular DNA is folded into multiple large loops or domains to fit inside the cell.
These loops are stabilized and held together by a central core composed of proteins and RNA. Specifically, RNA connectors assist in the joining of these loops during the packaging of DNA in prokaryotes.
Protamines are involved in DNA packaging in eukaryotic sperm cells, not prokaryotes.
Answer: RNA connectors
