Most plasmids are found in prokaryotic cells, but a few eukaryotic cells also have plasmids. An example of a eukaryote with plasmids is the unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

What are the common features and functions of eukaryotic plasmids?

Eukaryotic plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They often contain genes that provide benefits to the cell, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to produce certain proteins. Plasmids can replicate independently of the cell's chromosomal DNA and are commonly used in genetic engineering and research.


Is free floating DNA found in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells?

Free floating DNA is typically found in prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, where it can exist as plasmids or extrachromosomal DNA. Eukaryotic cells, like those in plants and animals, generally do not have free floating DNA outside of the nucleus.


How do eukaryotes utilize plasmids in their genetic material?

Eukaryotes can use plasmids to introduce new genes into their genetic material through a process called transfection. Plasmids can be engineered to carry specific genes of interest, which can then be inserted into eukaryotic cells to alter their genetic makeup and potentially change their characteristics or functions.


Does Paramecium have prokaryotic or Eukaryotic cells?

All ferns have eukaryotic cells. In fact, all plants (meaning all organisms in the kingdom Plantae) have eukaryotic cells. There are very, very few multicellular organisms that have prokaryotic cells.


Is a fat cell a prokaryotic or a eukaryotic cell?
