Calcium is not an organism - it is an element. So no, it does not have DNA.

What is roll of calcium chloride in making competent cells in transformation?
The addition of calcium chloride to a cell suspension promotes the binding of plasmid DNA to Lipopolysaccharide. Positively charged calcium ions attract both the negatively charged DNA backbone and the negatively charged groups in the Lipopolysaccharide inner core. The plasmid DNA can then pass into the cell upon heat shock, where cells are cooled to a low temperature (+4 degrees Celsius) and then heated to a high temperature (+42 degrees Celsius) for a short time.
Why calcium ions are used for artificial competence in bacteria?
Calcium chloride treatment in bacterial transformation is necesaary because the bacterial cells are permeable to chloride ions but not the calcium ions. This chloride intake will accompany along with influx of water into the cells which causes the cells to swell. This swelling followed by a mild heat treatment for about 2 minutes will induce the heat shock proteins which allows the uptake of the recombinant DNA!!!! Calcium is a divalent cation. It binds to the hydrophobic membrane and creates channels for uptake of foreign DNA.It can bind to both negatively charged hydrophilic DNA and the cell membrane, which is also has a negative charge. This enhances ability of the competence cell to take up the DNA.

Why are bacteria treated with calcium ions and subjected to temperature shock?
This is a method of bacterial transformation; to get bacteria to take up plasmid DNA.

Will calcium chloride and potassium phosphate precipitate?
yes it will precipitate DNA if your lysing nuclei; add benzamidine hydrochloride though as a protease inhibitor.
