How do bacteria package their DNA? by supercoiling the DNA by using histones by acetylating the DNA by methylating the DNA all of the above

Solution

1. Bacterial DNA is packaged into a single chromosome that is a continuous loop.

   The DNA must be folded or coiled so that it will fit into the cell.

    In bacteria the packaging involves DNA binding proteins that help to form initial loops followed by the coiling of DNA.

DNA looping and super coiling makes the bacterial chromosome more compact, so that it can fit within the nucleoid of the bacterial cell.

2. DNA packaging by super coiling and then wrapping up by histone proteins is seen in eukaryotes.

3. Acetylation and methylation of DNA is observed in transcription process.

Therefore, option A is correct.

Bacteria package their DNA by super coiling the DNA.
