Final answer:
The typical component of the prokaryotic genome is plasmids. These are circular DNA molecules that can be transferred during cell division and may carry specific traits like antibiotic resistance. Hence, option (c) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The component typically found as part of the prokaryotic genome is c) Plasmids. Unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryotes do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria or the endoplasmic reticulum.
Instead, prokaryotes, which include Bacteria and Archaea, have a simple structure with genetic material located in a region called the nucleoid. They often contain plasmids, which are smaller, circular DNA molecules that can carry a few genes, such as those that provide antibiotic resistance and can be transferred independently during cell division.
An eukaryotic cell has well well-developed cell wall, cell membrane, organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and a true nucleus and nucleolus.
