In ________ cells the genetic material is without any nuclear membrane covering and is directly submerged in the cytoplasm. A. Virus B. Algae C. Bacteria D. Moss

Virus
Algae
Bacteria
Moss

The answer is C. Bacteria.

Bacteria are prokaryotes, which means that they do not have a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is instead contained in a nucleoid, which is a region of the cytoplasm that is not separated from the rest of the cell by a membrane.

Viruses are not cells at all, but rather are simply a piece of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. They do not have any of the structures that are found in cells, such as a nucleus or cytoplasm.

Algae are eukaryotes, which means that they have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is contained in a nucleus, which is a membrane-bound structure that is located in the cytoplasm.

Moss is a plant, and all plants are eukaryotes. Their genetic material is contained in a nucleus, which is a membrane-bound structure that is located in the cytoplasm.

In conclusion, the correct answer to the question “In __ cells the genetic material is without any nuclear membrane covering and is directly submerged in the cytoplasm” is C. Bacteria.
