In prokaryotes, the genetic material is

1. linear DNA with histones
2. circular DNA with histones
3. linear DNA without histones
4. circular DNA without histones

Correct answer: circular DNA without histones

Solution

Prokaryotes generally have a circular chromosome, unlike the linear chromosomes common in eukaryotes. They also do not have histones in the same way eukaryotic DNA does, so the best choice is circular DNA without histones.
