Does bacteria have genetic information?
The genetic information of a bacterium is found in a DNA loop of the cytoplasm. Bacterium is a single-celled organism, and it is classified according to its shape, such as spherical or spiral.
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.
Why was the vector inserted into the bacterium?
The vector was inserted into the bacterium so as to artificially carry the foreign genetic materials into another cell.
What is it called when a bacterium uses a virus to transfer its DNA another bacterium?
Transduction
Where is the genetic chromosome of a bacterium found?
The bacterial cell has a circular DNA molecule in the cytoplasm. That is where all the genetic information is located.
What is the process that a bacterium uses to take in genetic information from another cell?
conjugation

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 occurs when a bacterium transfers some of its genetic material to another bacterium?
The answer is TransformationTransformation- transfer of genetic material

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.)
Prokaryotes divide by binary fission a form of asexual reproduction in which?
a bacterium splits into two equal halves with identical genetic information or cell divides into two cells with identical genetic information
Which process performs genetic recombination?
Genetic Recombination is the exchange of genetic information in order to increase the genetic diversity of the population. Probably only with bacteria.
