Genophore/bacterial genome or nucleoid is made of

1. histones and nonhistones
2. RNA and histones
3. a single double stranded DNA
4. a single stranded DNA

Correct answer: a single double stranded DNA

Solution

The bacterial genophore (nucleoid chromosome) is generally a single circular double-stranded DNA molecule. Bacteria do not package their genome with true histones like eukaryotes, and their genetic material is not RNA or single-stranded DNA.
