What does it mean that the dna is “free-floating”?

Cells with cell chemicals and genetic material having no defined organelles and are all enclosed within a cell wall are called prokaryotes. Organisms in this group are small in size and are mainly bacteria. Ribosomes in these small cells are also small and ‘free floating’.  DNA in prokaryotic cells is in the form of a circular strand and not as a chromosome.

interphase   is the cell cycle stage in which the cell acquires nutrients, creates and uses proteins and other molecules and starts the process of cell division by replicating the dna. it is the longest stage in the eukaryote cell cycle.

the following   can go wrong during interphase:   a base pair could be mismatched during the duplication process causing a mutation.   correct answer: c

explanation:

the three components of a nucleotide are the nitrogenous base, the phosphate group and the five-carbon sugar.
