Which of the following statements about a prokaryotic cell is not true? a. prokaryotic cells have a nucleus b. prokaryotic cells contain free-floating genetic material c. prokaryotic cells are able to reproduce d. most eukaryotic cells are more complex then prokaryotic cells.

The right option is; A. Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus

''Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus'' is the statement about prokaryotic cells that is NOT true.

Prokaryotic cells are cells that lack a true nucleus and some other cell organelles. Prokaryotic cells are found in unicellular organisms called prokaryotes. Examples of prokaryotes are; Bacteria and Archaea. The components of prokaryotic cells include plasma membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleoid, ribosomes, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Most of the prokaryotic’s DNA (genetic material) is located in a middle area of the cell (nucleoid), and it contains a single large loop known as a circular chromosome.

in situ hybridization has been widely used for research applications, including clinical cytogenetics, gene mapping, tumor biology and studies of chromosome evolution.
