A circular molecule of DNA devoid of any histone proteins describe the chromosome of:
(A) bacteria
(B) protists
© animals
(D) plants
(E) fungi

In bacteria, the chromosome is typically a single circular DNA molecule that is not associated with histones, allowing for a more efficient packing of genetic material within the cell. This structure is often referred to as a nucleoid, which floats freely in the cytoplasm without a defined nucleus.

In contrast, eukaryotic organisms, such as protists, animals, plants, and fungi, have their DNA organized into linear chromosomes that are wrapped around histone proteins, creating a more complex and regulated structure. This histone association plays a crucial role in DNA packaging and gene regulation in these organisms.
