Why bacteria does not reform a cell wall once it loses it though it has genes present for the same?

it doesnt always have the resources to do so in time.
to create a cell wall one needs energy, nutrients, the basic elements to construct it and time. the bacteria cell wall provides protection, both physical and chemical. think of it like a city with a wall and soldiers for protection, it falls under attack which it manages to repel but not before the wall is breached and many soldiers die. if it falls under attack before it has the time or the resources to rebuild the defenses it will die.
another possible explanation for the bacteria is: some genes are active only in certain stages of development after which they get closed up for good. if i damages some cells in your liver new cells can no longer develop into heart or eye tissue there even though they have the genes for it.
drop me a message if this helps and if not be more specific a to what you need.

Where is the units of heredity found?
the units of heredity are genes and these are present on chomosomes which are present in nucleus.
What is the term that identifies the genes present in an organism?
the genes can be called inheritable genes..
Does bacteria reproduce by injection their genes into other cells?
no
Why do plants produce products that have antimicrobial activity?
Because ancestral plants had mutant genes that made them produce these products, which acted to protect them from bacteria diseases, which allowed them to flourish, which allowed them to supplant rival conspecifics that lacked the genes that caused them to produce the products, and the living plants of present time inherited the genes in question from their ancestors.
Why genes cannot be described?
Genes that 'cannot be described' usually refers to genes that are only predicted to be genes by computer software that reads through DNA sequences and recognize very small lengths of sequences that usually are only present in genes. These genes will certainly eventually be described at some point in the future, but nothing is know about them at present time except that 'it looks like that might be a gene'
What are genes How do they differ from bacteria?
some genes are skinny some are boot cut but bacteria are bacteria
What have scientists discovered about simple genes like bacteria?
Bacteria are living organisms not genes, your question does not make sense.
The use of genetic engineering to transfer human genes into bacteria?
This results in bacteria expressing human proteins or genes.
Which genes are present in your liver cells?
All your genes are present in your liver cells
Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually which genes would most likely be passed on?
Both the original and the new genes
How does DNA technology transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell?
DNA technology will transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell.
Where is the units of heredity found?
the units of heredity are genes and these are present on chomosomes which are present in nucleus.
Most cells except bacteria are?
genes
What is the term that identifies the genes present in an organism?
the genes can be called inheritable genes..
Which genes are dominant and which are recessive?
Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
In bacteria genes occur as?
unbroken stretches of proteins.
Does bacteria reproduce by injection their genes into other cells?
no
