How flood affect agriculture and animal husbandry?

Floods are almost impossible to predict. When a flood happens in an area with agriculture and animal husbandry it carries away or kills genetic material that is needed for breeding the next generation of plants and animals.

No. It has a nucleoid which is an area where genetic material is found. But it is not membrane bound. The word prokaryote means before (pro) the nut (nucleus).

Bacteria are called what because their genetic material is not contained in nuclei?

While it may be true that bacteria do not have nuclei like the other kingdom's of life, they still have genetic material, often as a singular circular strand. In addition, some bacteria contain smaller additional strands of circular DNA called plasmids that allow for additional properties, often impacting its antibiotic resistance and virulence. All the lack of a nucleus means is that the genetic material is not bound to a single area, it is free to roam throughout the cell. If bacteria did not have genetic material they would have no way of reproducing and spreading their traits. Genetic material is essential to the formation of new life forms and the expressions of characteristics. Even viruses which aren't even classified as alive contain genetic information!


What is the nucleoid function?

The portion within a prokaryotic cell where the genetic material is found. Contrasted to eukaryotes with a nucleus, prokaryotes have a nucleoid where the genetic material can be found. The nucleoid is different from the nucleus of the eukaryotes in a way that the genetic material is not enclosed in a membrane to separate it from the cytoplasm. The nucleoid is a region of cytoplasm where the chromosomal DNA is located. It is not a membrane bound nucleus, but simply an area of the cytoplasm where the strands of DNA are found. Most bacteria have a single, circular chromosome that is responsible for replication, although a few species do have two or more. Smaller circular auxiliary DNA strands, called plasmids, are also found in the cytoplasm.
