Which of the following statements regarding prokaryotes is false?
A
Prokaryotes reproduce primarily by binary fission.
B
Prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
C
Prokaryotes possess ribosomes for protein synthesis.
D
Prokaryotes have linear chromosomes.
Verified step by step guidance1
Review the defining characteristics of prokaryotes, focusing on their cellular structure and genetic material organization.
Recall that prokaryotes reproduce primarily by binary fission, a simple cell division process, which is a true statement.
Understand that prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus, meaning their DNA is not enclosed within a nuclear membrane, which is also true.
Recognize that prokaryotes possess ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis, confirming this statement as true.
Identify that prokaryotes typically have circular chromosomes rather than linear chromosomes, so the statement 'Prokaryotes have linear chromosomes' is false.
