Question:
The DNA present in chloroplast is:
The DNA present in chloroplast is:
Updated On: Mar 27, 2025
- Linear, double stranded
- Circular, double stranded
- Linear, single stranded
- Circular, single stranded
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Chloroplast DNA exhibits unique structural characteristics:
- It is circular, similar to the DNA found in prokaryotes.
- It is double-stranded, ensuring stability and efficient replication.
- This structure allows chloroplasts to replicate independently of the nuclear genome.
Thus, the correct answer is (2) Circular, double-stranded.
