Viruses
The virus attaches to the outer cell wall,inserts its DNA. It takes the cells functions over and starts a viral factory.
bacteriophage is a virus that kills bacteria
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
Yes. Bacteria are living organisms. All living organisms have DNA.
Humans share about 1-2 of their DNA with bacteria.
DNA extraction from bacteria can be achieved in various ways. Yeast is the best resource to extract the DNA bacteria from using extreme rapid extraction method.
No.
In biochemistry, intercalator is a type of molecule that binds to DNA and inserts itself into the DNA structure. Some intercalators are used as treatments for cancer.
Bacterial DNA is more interesting
Bacteria, as prokaryotes, do not lack DNA. In fact, they have DNA, but their genetic material is not enclosed within a nucleus like in eukaryotic cells. Instead, the DNA in bacteria is found in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid.
Yes DNA or more specifically genetic material is one of the fundamental requirements for something to be classified as alive, which bacteria are. Bacteria do not conventionally have a nucleus so their genetic material is stored in plasmids, rings of DNA.
Yes, DNA synthesis occurs in bacteria as part of their replication process. Bacteria replicate their DNA prior to cell division to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material. This process involves the duplication of the bacterial genome by enzymes such as DNA polymerase.
