Identify the statements which hold true for DNA in E.coli

A. DNA is organised in nucleoid region

B. The length of E. coli DNA is 1.36 meters

C. DNA is not scattered throughout the cell

D. DNA is organised in large loops.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A, C and D only

The correct answer is Option (4)- A, C and D only

In prokaryotes, such as, E. coli, though they do not have a defined nucleus, the DNA is not scattered throughout the cell. DNA (being negatively charged) is held with some proteins (that have positive charges) in a region termed as ‘nucleoid’. The DNA in nucleoid is organised in large loops held by proteins The length of the E.coli DNA is 1.36mm.
