What are the closed loops of DNA?
Closed DNA (circular) is a characteristic of prokaryotes. Circular DNA that is not on the bacterial chromosome are called plasmids.
Why are bacteria called prokaryotes?
Bacteria are called prokaryotes because a bacterium cell lacks a nucleus. The DNA is found as loops in discrete sites in the cytoplasm, rather than in a nucleus.
What is a small circular segment of DNA found in many bacteria but separate from the bacterial chomosome?
The small circular segment of DNA is called plasmid.
What is the basic unit of chromosomes?
The small unit of chrosomorosomes is called genes.
Do Golgi apparatus have nucleic acid?
No. Most of the DNA in a cell is stored in the nucleus. Sometimes, there are separate loops of DNA loose in a cell called plasmids. In prokaryotic cells the DNA is just loose in the cell, but even then the golgi body is DNA-free.
Bacteria often have small extra loops of DNA called?
Plasmids
What are the closed loops of DNA?
Closed DNA (circular) is a characteristic of prokaryotes. Circular DNA that is not on the bacterial chromosome are called plasmids.
What do you call a small circular DNA molecule that is located in some prokaryotic cells like bacteria?
Plasmid (main circular DNA molecule) and transposons (smaller DNA loops).
Why are bacteria called prokaryotes?
Bacteria are called prokaryotes because a bacterium cell lacks a nucleus. The DNA is found as loops in discrete sites in the cytoplasm, rather than in a nucleus.
What is the small DNA segment in bacterium called?
The small DNA segment found in bacteria is called a plasmid. Plasmids are circular extrachromosomal DNA molecules that can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often carry genes that provide bacteria with advantages such as antibiotic resistance.
What is the belt loops on a pair of jeans called?
Belt Loops.
What are the small segments of DNA that control protein formation called?
The segments of DNA that code for a functional product (protein) are called genes.
What is a small circular segment of DNA found in many bacteria but separate from the bacterial chomosome?
The small circular segment of DNA is called plasmid.
What are the loops on the floor of a transit van called?
The loops on the floor of a transit van are called loop anchors. The loops are used to safely secure wheelchairs in the van.Ê
How does DNA relate to macromolecules?
DNA is called a macromolecule because it is a huge molecule that fits into small cells. Micro means small, while Macro means big....that why it is huge!!
What is the basic unit of chromosomes?
The small unit of chrosomorosomes is called genes.
What is small section of DNA called which controls production of insulin?
Pancreas
