Given below are two statements:Statement I: In prokaryotes, the positively charged DNA is held with some negatively charged proteins in a region called nucleoid.Statement II: In eukaryotes, the negatively charged DNA is wrapped around the positively charged histone octamer to form nucleosome.In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer:

  1. A
    Both Statements I and Statement II are true
  2. B
    Both statements I and Statement II are false
  3. C
    Statement I is correct but Statement II is false
  4. D
    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Statement I is incorrect: In prokaryotes, DNA is negatively charged (due to phosphate groups) and is held with some positively charged proteins in the nucleoid.2. Statement II is true: In eukaryotes, DNA is wrapped around the positive histone octamer to form the basic unit of chromatin, the nucleosome.
