Q. In ________ cells the genetic material is without any nuclear membrane covering and is directly submerged in the cytoplasm.
✅ Correct Answer: (C)
Bacteria
Explanation: Bacterial cells are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a true nucleus. Their genetic material (DNA) is not enclosed within a nuclear membrane but is instead found in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid.
In contrast:
Viruses (A) are acellular and do not have cytoplasm or a true cell structure.
Algae (B) and Moss (D) are eukaryotic organisms, meaning their genetic material is enclosed within a nuclear membrane.
