prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
ribosome.
plasmid.
nucleoid.
chromosome.
select
a in prokaryotes is stored as a circular molecule called a select
In prokaryotic cells, the main circular DNA molecule that stores genetic information is called a chromosome (or sometimes referred to in the context of prokaryotes, the circular chromosome; plasmids are additional small circular DNA, ribosomes are for protein synthesis, nucleoid is the region where DNA is located, not the DNA molecule itself). So the correct term for the circular DNA molecule storing DNA in prokaryotes is chromosome (or also, the main circular DNA can be considered the chromosome, while plasmids are extra). Among the options, "chromosome" is the correct choice for the main circular DNA molecule storing genetic material in prokaryotes.
