Title: Which of the following statements is true for prokaryotes?
Post by: riyaz on Feb 5, 2013
1. Genetic variation in bacteria is not known
to occur, nor should it occur because of their
asexual mode of reproduction.
2. The genetic material of prokaryotes is
confined within a nuclear envelope.
3. Bacterial cells conjugate to mutually ex-
change genetic material.
4. Prokaryotes divide by binary fission, with-
out mitosis or meiosis.
5. The persistence of bacteria throughout
evolutionary time is due to metabolic similar-
ity.

1.  Genetic variation occurs by mutation.
2.  False.  The genetic material is stored in the nucleoid.
3.  True.
4.  True.
5.  False. . .?

I hope this helps.  I'm not sure about the last one, but the others I'm sure about.
