The eukaryotic genome differs from the prokaryotic genome because

1. genes in the former case are organized into operons
2. the DNA is complexed with histones in eukaryotes
3. repetitive sequences are present in eukaryotes
4. the DNA is circular and single stranded in prokaryotes

Correct answer: the DNA is complexed with histones in eukaryotes

Solution

Eukaryotic DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form chromatin, which is a key structural difference from prokaryotic DNA packaging. This makes option B correct.
