Amount of DNA in a bacterial cell is:
Correct answer: A. 1%
- A. 1%
- B. 2%
- C. 3%
- D. 4%
Explanation
Bacterial cells are prokaryotic and lack the complex structures found in eukaryotic cells. As a result, their cellular content is streamlined, and DNA typically makes up about 1% of the cell's total composition. This percentage reflects the efficiency and simplicity of bacterial genetic material organization. The other options overestimate the amount of DNA, which is not representative of the typical bacterial cell composition.
