Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
In bacterial cell, a well defined membrane-bound nucleus is not found, i.e., nuclear membrane, nucleolus and chromosomes, like a typical eukaryotic cell, are absent.
It contains a single chromosome, consisting of a ringed or circular DNA filament associated with a small amount of RNA and non-histone proteins.
