Chromosomes are located in the nucleus of a cell in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes (which lack a cell nucleus) chromosomes are circular in shape usually found attached to the plasmid membrane. Smaller circular DNA known as plasmids are also found in the prokaryotic cells and are thought of as smaller versions of chromosomes.

Circular extra genomic DNA is called?
A circular band of DNA that exists separate of chromosomal DNA is called a plasmid. Plasmids reside within bacteria cells and can replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA.
The chromosomal DNA is duplicated in what?
I think the nucleus is the best answer.
Plasmids are circular pieces of DNA that exist in addition to the chromosomal DNA of certain bacteria and yeast?
true...
What area in the animal cell houses genetic material?
The genetic material of an animal cell is located in the nucleus- this contains the chromosomal DNA of the cell
What is the name of the DNA polymer?
It is also called The Chromosomal Material, or Substance.
What are plasmid genes?
A plasmid is an extra chromosomal DNA molecule separate from the chromosomal DNA which is capable of replicating independently from the chromosomal DNA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmid I think this is far use.
What is extrachromosomal replicon?
+other than chromosomal DNA is known as extra chromosomal DNA like plasmids, mitochondria and chloroplast containing DNA.
The chromosomal DNA is duplicated in?
nucleus
What enzyme inserts viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA?
integrase
Circular extra genomic DNA is called?
A circular band of DNA that exists separate of chromosomal DNA is called a plasmid. Plasmids reside within bacteria cells and can replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA.
How are chromosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA inherited differently?
Chromosomal DNA is inherited from both parents via the egg and the sperm. Since Spermatozoa do not any Mitochondria you get all of your Mitochondria DNA from the Egg. IE your Mum.
What is the difference between plasmid and episomes?
Plasmid DNA is an extra-chromosomal DNA molecule, it cannot link up with chromosomal DNA, and it contains the genetic informations that are necessary for its own replication. Episomes is any kind of extra-chromosomal DNA that can link up with chromosomal DNA. That is the main difference between them two. Episomes are usually larger than other extra-chromosomal DNA. An example of episome are the viruses, because they intergrate their genetic material into the host's chromosomal DNA.The only difference between the plasmid and the episome is the integration i-e plasmid can not integrate while episome can integrate into the genome.
What process in bacteria always allow both chromosomal and non-chromosomal DNA to be transferred?
Binary fission
What is a part of a cell that contains the chromosomal DNA?
The Nucleus
The chromosomal DNA is duplicated in what?
I think the nucleus is the best answer.
The genetic code is carried by the molecule in most organisms. chromosomal DNA guanine hereditary?
The genetic code is carried by the molecule in most organisms. chromosomal DNA guanine hereditary?
Why is your DNA like no one else's?
Mutations and chromosomal crossover.
