Where is the DNA located in a Prokaryote cell and Eukaryotic cell?
tigry1 [53]

Prokaryotes have no cell nucleus and no membrane enclosed organelles. Prokaryotic DNA can be found in a coiled loop floating in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid (meaning nucleus-like). In other words, the nucleoid is the area in a prokaryotic cell where DNA is located.


In eukaryotic cells, DNA is located in the nucleus, the mitochondria and the chloroplasts (occuring only in plants and some protists). The nucleus contains most DNA. It is present in this compartment in the form of linear chromosomes that together constitute the genome.

Explanation:

Photosystem II is a specialized protein complex that traps the light energy from the sunlight and utilizes it to transfer electrons to Pq from water, which ultimately helps in the production of oxygen.

As we know photosystem II helps in production and cyanobacteria were the primitive organism it is considered as after the development of the photosystem II, cyanobacteria begin the aerobic life.

Thus, the correct answer is - Photosystem II.
