Which of the following nucleic acids is present in an organism having 70 S ribosomes only?

  1. A
    Single-stranded DNA with a protein coat
  2. B
    Double-stranded circular naked DNA
  3. C
    Double-stranded DNA enclosed in nuclear membrane
  4. D
    Double-stranded circular DNA with histone proteins

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Organisms having only 70 S ribosomes are prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea). The genetic material of prokaryotes is typically a double-stranded circular DNA that is "naked" (not associated with histones in bacteria) and not enclosed in a nuclear membrane.
