No, bacteria do not have nuclei. This is one of the defining features of bacteria that has resulted in them being classified as prokaryotes and very distinct from the eukaryotes (animal and plant cells).
Bacteria have genetic material that is loosely organized but is not bound by a nuclear membrane.

∙ 13y agoBacteria has both DNA and RNA. Bacteria is a Prokaryote organism, that reproduce asexually.
DNA and RNA, are both used for replication, translations and transduction. Binary fission is a term used to describe the replication of bacteria resulting in two genetically identical bacterial cells.

∙ 13y agoBacteria generally have a single strand of DNA and can also have plasmids which are DNA material but are separate from the chromosomal DNA. As you may know from elementary genetics, the DNA get transcribed to RNA. Therefore bacteria would technically have both.
Viruses on the other hand can be both depending on the type from the Baltimore classification. For example, Type I is double stranded DNA, Type II is single stranded DNA and Type III is double stranded RNA. So again viruses could be considered to contain RNA OR DNA. (one or the other but not both in the same virion).
Hope that helps :)

∙ 14y agoYes, bacteria have DNA. But instead of linear strands that eukaryotes have, prokaryote DNA is circular.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoBacteria, which are prokaryotic organisms, have DNA but no nucleus.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes they do. They need to replicate other bacteria like themselves, so DNA is the molecular material that holds the instructions for doing this and all other work the cell needs to do.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt has a circular DNA, which is transcribed into RNA, which is translated into proteins.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe nucleic acid that bacteria use in their circular chromosome & plasmids is DNA.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes, bacterial use deoxyribonucleic acid.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes they do! They use DNA

Where iS the DNA in bacteria found if there is no nucleus?
It is located in the cytoplasm.
Are bacteria prokaryotes?
Yes, bacteria is prokaryotic because it does not have a nucleus, it does not have membrane covered organelles, and it has circular DNA instead of linear DNA.
How is the DNA prokaryote different from the DNA in a eukaroyte?
In Prokaryotes like bacteria DNA is in the form of clusters of chromosomes and in eukaryotes DNA is concentrated in the nucleus as they have it .
How is the DNA in a prokaryotes different from the DNA in the eukaryote.?

Are the physical structures of DNA and protein found in the nucleus?
In an animal or plant cell, DNA is found in the nucleus, inside chromosomes. In a bacteria cell, DNA is not in the nucleus because there is no nucleus in a bacteria cell I hope this helps:)
What is DNA not in nucleus and contains peptidoglygcan?
Bacteria
Where iS the DNA in bacteria found if there is no nucleus?
It is located in the cytoplasm.
Where is bateria DNA found?
Bacteria's DNA is one chromosome that is literally a ring floating in the cytoplasm of the bacteria because they have no nucleus.
What is transcription in nucleus of a cell?
The DNA code is transcribed into a Nucleus when the Bacteria with the special DNA in it is put onto the nucleus. It will then release the DNA in order to be able to make copies of itself. The DNA will produce into a Bacteria when put into a new Bacteria from a different type. Transcribe DNA code in NUcleus is not only terible English it means that the first BActeria releases his DNA so that it can be taken in from another Bacteria which then can make copies from the first Bacteria. I hope this helped and copy this directly into your test!
Are bacteria cells with nucleus?
Bacteria are the most primitive forms of cells, and they do not have a "real" nucleus. Their DNA basically floats around inside of them.
Does Tuberculosis have a nucleus?
Tuberculosis is caused by a bacteria which has no nucleus. It has DNA, but it is not found inside a membrane such as we have in our cells.
What is where the herditary matireial of the cell is heldexept in bacteria?
DNA but they have no nucleus. They are Prokaryotes.
