Bacteria are prokaryotes, which means that they do not have a nucleus (unlike eukaryotes, which do). Instead, their genetic material is contained freely in the cytoplasm of the cell; it is not bound inside a membrane.

the cel l nucleus contains genetic material known asDNA
The genetic material of an animal cell is found in the?
DNA is the genetic material. It is in chromosomes in nucleus.
Where is your genetic material found a cell?
a volcano
In genetic engineering what takes up plasmid?
In genetic engineering, the bacterial cell takes up the plasmid
What is the source of genetic material in a zygote?
The father's sperm and the mother's egg each have half of the genetic material needed for the zygote. egg cell &sperm cell
Where is the genetic material in a bacterial cell?
The genetic material is in the cytoplasm.
Where is the genetic material is a bacterial cell?
The genetic material is in the cytoplasm.
What are genetic materials found in a bacterium?
The genetic material in the bacterial cell is DNA.
What is the genetic material in a bacterial cell?
Yes it is located in In a bacterial cell, the genetic material is just floating in the cytoplasm in a region called the necleoid. There are no membranes surrounding it.
Where is the genectic material in a bacterial cell?
while bacterial cell does have a cell wall and a cell membrane, it does not contain a nucleus. the bacteria cell's genetic material, which looks like a thick, tangled a tring, is found in the cytoplasm
Where is the location of bacterial cells in plant and animal cells?
While a bacterial cell does have a cell wall and a cell membrane, it does not contain a nucleus. The bacterial cell's genetic material, which looks like a thick, tangled string, is found in the cytoplasm.
What is hereditary material of bacteria?
In a bacterial cell, the genetic material is just floating in the cytoplasm in a region called the necleoid. There are no membranes surrounding it.
How molecular mechanism of bacterial transformation is carried out?
Basically, transformation refers to the uptake and incorporation of naked genetic material by a competent cell. Most bacterial cells are not naturally competent(able to take up naked genetic material). The kinds that are use a type 4 pilli to get the genetic material into the cell. This process is very rare in nature, since it requires naked genetic material to be present, from a lysed cell, as well as a competent cell to take up the genetic material. When the DNA/RNA is taken up, it is often degraded by restriction enzymes. If it is not degraded it can exist as extra chromosomal DNA, much like a plasmid, or it can be incorporated into the cells chromosome. Scientists use heat, pH, or osmotic shock in lab to make cells artificially competent.
Is a bacterial Cell a Cell?
layer outside the bacteria cell(the outside of the cell)what u can see.
What is the difference between the location of the genetic material in the bacterium and in the cell from the lining of the intestine?
In plant and animal cells the genetic material is located in the water because they both need water to survive and in bacterial cells the genetic material is located in the cytoplasm.
Why don't bacterial chromosomes get cut out with the restriction enzymes present in the cell?
Methyl groups are attached to all bacterial genetic material to protect it from its own restriction enzymes.
Where is the genetic material in bacteria cell?
The genetic material in a bacteria cell is found in the cytoplasm.
