yes. it has only one chromosome that holds its genetic material, however they may also have plasmids that contain genetic material

What are 2 identical strands of genetic material?
Chromosomes and sister chromatids are joined strands of duplicated genetic material. A chromatid is one copy of a duplicated chromosome which, before replication, is composed of one DNA molecule.
Does sperm transport genetic material?
Sperm contributes one half of the genetic material,the egg supplies the other half.This is the main reason why sexual reproduction is used by most organisms. It creates diversity in species that make it more resilient to changing conditions.
What is the difference between a genetic disorder and a genetic mutation?
A genetic disorder is something an individual is born with, and results from a problem within their genetic material. This means they have inherited the disease or disorder from their Mother or Father. You cannot inherit an infectious disease, you acquire it during your lifetime from a germ, such as a virus or a bacterium. You can also recover from an infectious disease, whereas you will always suffer from a genetic disorder if you inherit one.
Where is genetic information stored and copied?
the nucleus stores all the genetic information (DNA)
How is the genetic material in a bacterial cell carried?
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.
What are two bacteria's that exchange genetic material?
Genetic exchanges among bacteria occur by several mechanisms. In transformation, the recipient bacterium takes up extracellular donor DNA. In transduction, donor DNA packaged in a bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium. In conjugation, the donor bacterium transfers DNA to the recipient by mating.
What is the difference between conjugation and sexduction?
Conjugation is a process in bacteria where genetic material is transferred between two cells through direct physical contact. Sexduction, on the other hand, is a specific type of conjugation where genetic material is transferred along with a sex factor (plasmid) that carries genes for the formation of a sex pilus. This enables the transfer of genetic material specifically related to mating or conjugation.
What is a genetic engineer?
Genetic Engeneering is taking genes from one organism and and putting them in another organism.(most likely to be a bacterium.)
Does urine contain genetic material. Like if one gives a urine sample is one submitting genetic material?
No.
Is one method of genetic engineering in which a useful segment of DNA from one organism is inserted into a bacterium?
Yes.
Is the egg the only one who contains genetic material?
Both egg and sperm contain genetic material.
Change in genetic material of an organism from one genrartion to another?
When mutations happen, they cause the alteration of genetic material.
How do bacteria exchange genetic information with each other?
Genetic exchanges among bacteria occur by several mechanisms. In transformation, the recipient bacterium takes up extracellular donor DNA. In transduction, donor DNA packaged in a bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium. In conjugation, the donor bacterium transfers DNA to the recipient by mating.
How does a developing baby get half of its genetic material from its father and half from its mother?
Dad contributes a sperm cell- which has half the genetic material, It fertilizes the egg from Mom- which has HER half of the genetic material. They join the two halves to become one whole.
How is genetic material transferred from one generation to the next?
yes and no DNA is transfred when the sperm and egg meet and create a mutaul bond
Is all the DNA in one cell of an organism?
genetic material ,in the nucleus
Outside the nucleus what is one structure where genetic material is stored in an animal cell?
The mitochondria contain their own genetic material, in the form of circular chromosomes (like those of bacteria).
