What cell structure found in plant and bacterial cells but not animal cells called?

In Bacterial cells (prokaryotes) the genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus, instead, it is a single strain of DNA in a circle with no end. Bacterial cells may also contain a few small strands of DNA, known as plasmids. Bacterial cells have a cell wall as well as a membrane. They also have cytoplasm as all cells do

What is the form of sexual reproduction in some bacteria?

Sexual reproduction doesn't exist in bacteria but bacterial conjugation does.

These new fragments can give antibiotic resistance and other genes that are helpful to the bacteria.


How are bacterial cells different from animal cells?

A bacteria cell differs structurally from plant and animal cells because of its small size. A bacteria cell has flagella outside of the cell to help it move. A bacteria cell does not contain organelles. Only the chromosome and sometimes ribosomes are visible in a bacteria cell.


Did reiji okazaki invent anything?

Technically he did not "invent" anything, but he found out and proved that one of the two strands in new forming DNA during replication is replicating discontinuously, which means there are small fragments of DNA, which are to be connected afterwards.
