Question

question 35 which of the following bacterial structures is incorrectly matched with a function? a nucleoid - hereditary material b plasmids - contain genes essential for growth and metabolism c cytoplasm - dense, gelatinous solution d ribosomes - protein synthesis e inclusions - excess cell nutrients and materials

Explanation:

Plasmids are small, circular, double - stranded DNA molecules that are separate from the bacterial chromosome. They often carry non - essential genes like antibiotic resistance genes, not genes essential for growth and metabolism. The nucleoid contains the bacterial hereditary material. The cytoplasm is a dense, gelatinous solution. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis. Inclusions store excess cell nutrients and materials.

Answer:

B. Plasmids - contain genes essential for growth and metabolism
