Protists are eukaryotes, so they keep their DNA in a nucleus the same as every other eukaryote.

Yes, and it is too bad they failed! At least two men were involved in the organised murder attempt, and it is suspected that the orders were sent from higher ups.

The DNA in a protist is found in a central area of the cell and it has a membrane around it.

I do not think so but some protists have two nuclei.


What structure contains the amoeba's DNA?

Amoebas are protists and therefore unicellular eukaryotic organisms. This means that they contain a nucleus. The DNA of ANY eukaryotic organism is found in the nucleus.


Differences between bacteria and protists?

Bacteria are prokaryotic while protists are eukaryotic. Bacteria DNA is not contained within a nucleus, and it is circular, whereas in eukaryotes the DNA is found in compact chromosomes. Prokaryotes (like bacteria) also lack organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. Also, prokaryotic cell walls contain peptidoglycan. Protists are divided into three groups: protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime moulds (fungi-like protists). They do not fit into the kingdoms animalia, plantae, or fungi, but they are eukaryotic (like the members of those kingdoms).


Where does DNA exist in a cell?

== == = Cell nucleus = Eukaryotic organisms (animals, plants, fungi, and protists) store most of their DNA inside the cell nucleus and some of their DNA in organelles, such as mitochondria or chloroplasts. Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) store their DNA in the cytoplasm


Is protists DNA linear or circular?

Straight(isn). It's not circular, the DNA is organized in chromosomes like eukaryotes. So circular is not correct, since that applies to things like bacteria and mitochondria.


Bacteria and protists both undergo conjugation why is this process more complex in protists than in bacteria?

Conjugation in bacteria is less complex because the DNA is only transferred to the one other cell. Conjugation in protist is more complex because the DNA from both cells are being put together to form a whole new cell.


How do the shapes of bacteria compare the diversity of shapes of the protists?

bacteria have cell walls, making them keep their shape, while most protists have either pellicles or cell membranes which can change shape.


Where does a Protist keep its DNA?

In the nucleus.
