Achiever is saying Kingdom Monera has double stranded DNA molecules.
I thought prokaryotes (Monera) have a single DNA molecule.
What am I missing here?

Thanks.

Thanks.

the two strands are bound together..... you should definitely know genetics back to front along with physiology.

The only ssDNA that I know are in viruses and some have RNA instead of DNA. Prokaryotes have circular dsDNA.
