The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Statement**: The statement claims that all bacteria have a single circular chromosome per cell. 2. **Analyzing Chromosomal Structures**: While many bacteria do have a single circular chromosome (like E. coli), this is not true for all bacteria. 3. **Identifying Different Chromosomal Types**: - **Single Circular Chromosome**: This is the most common type found in many bacteria, including E. coli. - **Multicircular Chromosomes**: Some bacteria, like Brucella, have multiple circular chromosomes. - **Linear Chromosomes**: Certain bacteria, such as Vibrio cholerae, possess linear chromosomes instead of circular ones. 4. **Conclusion**: Since there are various types of chromosomal structures in bacteria, the statement that "all bacteria have a single circular chromosome per cell" is false. **Final Answer**: The statement is false. ---
