The major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes is that bacteria have a single circular chromosome whereas eukaryotes have several linear chromosomes.
Eukaryotic chromosomes are present within the nucleus while prokaryotic chromosomes are found in the nucleoid (a region of the cytoplasm). The nucleoid does not have a membrane.
In eukaryotic chromosomes, DNA is wrapped around histone proteins, which is further compacted by supercoiling and folding. However, in prokaryotic chromosomes, DNA is supercoiled and held together by nucleoid-associated proteins.
Prokaryotic chromosome is very simple in comparison to the eukaryotic one. Prokaryotic chromosome lack telomeres and centromeres sequences which is found in the eukaryotic chromosomes.

Answer: a. increased energy efficiency
Explanation:
Answer: Natural selection is the driving force to explain the mechanisms of evolution.
Explanation:
◼In a given population Organisms usually produce more offspring than what the environment can support.
◼ VARIATION, is driving force for the manifestation of sustainable inheritable characteristics from parents in a given population.
◼ Organisms, who acquired certain characteristics from variation; tend to survive than others, and therefore pass these inheritable characteristics to their offspring.
◼There is competition for the available resources among the offspring which leads to a stable population in size after a period of time.
◼Darwin deducted that, variants of best adaptation will be selected for by natural conditions operating in the environment of the population at that particular period (natural selection).Therefore natural selection takes place, and the organisms with best variation will have selective advantage above others. Consequently they have higher survival rates compare to others in the population.
This is survival of the fittest by natural selection
, this is the second conclusion of Darwin theory.
