Bacteria generally have one (and only one) circular chromosome. However, they can also contain smaller rings of DNA called plasmids. These plasmids are generally not essential to cellular functions, but serve a variety of purposes. For example, they can serve as cloning vectors.

Where is bateria DNA found?
Bacteria's DNA is one chromosome that is literally a ring floating in the cytoplasm of the bacteria because they have no nucleus.
What is a single loop of DNA found in bacteria?
bacterial plasmid/ plasmid ring
Small DNA loops are called?
PRESENT IN BACTERIA ONLY!!: Plasmids.
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 1 way the DNA of prokaryotic cells differs from that of eukaryotic cells?
In Prokaryotes like bacteria DNA is in the form of clusters of chromosomes and in eukaryotes DNA is concentrated in the nucleus as they have it .
A small ring of DNA that can be taken up by bacteria?
DNA is spliced into bacterial DNA in rings called plasmids.
Is mitochondria made up of cytoplasm?
Mitocondria have the same structure as bacteria: outer lipid bilayer membrane, cytoplasm, large ring shaped DNA chromosome, small ring shaped DNA plasmids.
Where is bateria DNA found?
Bacteria's DNA is one chromosome that is literally a ring floating in the cytoplasm of the bacteria because they have no nucleus.
Many diabetics are now using insulin that was made by certain bacteria The ability of these bacteria to produce insulin was most likely the result of?
Inserting a portion of human DNA into the ring shaped DNA of bacteria
What is a single loop of DNA found in bacteria?
bacterial plasmid/ plasmid ring
What is the extra ring called in bacteria?
The extra ring found in bacteria is called a plasmid. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often contain additional genes that can provide advantages to the bacterial cell, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to metabolize certain substances.
Bacteria often have small extra loops of DNA called?
Plasmids

Small circular molecules of extra DNA in bacteria are called what?
plasmids
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 plamids?
A plasmid is a circular ring of DNA that is separate from the main 'cluster' of DNA in a bacterium. They are not usually found in any other organisms apart from bacteria. They are used in genetic modification where and extra gene is inserted into the plasmid ring so the bacteria produces substances (such as insulin).
How is DNA in bacteria usually shaped?
Bacteria are prokaryotes, that is, the DNA molecule is not enclosed in a membrane-bound nucleus as it is in the eukaryotes. In bacteria the DNA lies free in the cytosol in a region known as nucleoid. This is denser than the rest of the cytosol because of the presence of DNA and related protein molecules. Also the DNA in bacteria is not broken up in thread-like chromosomes but is a ring-like circular and continuous structure.
