You examine a bacterium under a microscope. Which feature will you NOT find in it?

ANuclear material in it
BA single-celled body
CA protective cell wall
DA nuclear membrane
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A nuclear membrane
1. Bacteria are prokaryotes, and the defining prokaryotic trait concerns the nucleus. 2. A prokaryote does carry nuclear material — its DNA sits in the cytoplasm. 3. But that material is not enclosed by a nuclear membrane, so there is no true nucleus. 4. Prokaryotes are microscopic, single-celled, and do possess a cell wall. 5. So every option except the nuclear membrane is a genuine prokaryotic characteristic. _Source: NECTA CSEE 2021 Biology 033, Question 1: Multiple Choice, item (iv)_
