The genetic material of a cell is actually the DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid) molecule. In some types of cells this genetic material is packaged alongwith many other chemicals in the form of long thread-like structures called chromosomes and enclosed in a membrane-lined struture. This spherical structure is called nucleus and such cells are called eukaryotes. In other types of cells the genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus but rather lies exposed to the cytoplasm of the cell. These are the prokaryotic cells of which bacteria are the prime examples. The cells of most higher forms of life (plants and animals) are eukaryotes.
What else can I help you with?
Do prokaryotes have introns in their genetic material?
No, prokaryotes do not have introns in their genetic material.
Do prokaryotes possess circular DNA in their genetic material?
Yes, prokaryotes possess circular DNA in their genetic material.
Are prokaryotes' genetic material organized in a linear or circular manner?
Prokaryotes have their genetic material organized in a circular manner.
Do prokaryotes have linear DNA in their genetic material?
No, prokaryotes do not have linear DNA in their genetic material. They typically have circular DNA molecules.
Are there introns present in prokaryotes?
No, prokaryotes do not have introns in their genetic material.
Do prokaryotes have introns in their genetic material?
No, prokaryotes do not have introns in their genetic material.
Do prokaryotes possess circular DNA in their genetic material?
Yes, prokaryotes possess circular DNA in their genetic material.
Are prokaryotes' genetic material organized in a linear or circular manner?
Prokaryotes have their genetic material organized in a circular manner.
Do prokaryotes have linear DNA in their genetic material?
No, prokaryotes do not have linear DNA in their genetic material. They typically have circular DNA molecules.
Are there introns present in prokaryotes?
No, prokaryotes do not have introns in their genetic material.
What are the similarities of viruses and prokaryotes?
They all contain DNA in there genetic material
What structure is present in eukaryotes but not in prokaryotes?
dna
Prokaryotes can transfer pieces of genetic material in a process called?
Conjugation
What are three ways that prokaryotes are like?
Both have a cell membrane, genetic material, and ribosomes.
What does the RNA do in a prokaryote cell?
Acts as the genetic material; it is the prokaryotes' substitute for eukaryotic DNA.
What structure identifies a eukaryote as a eukaryote?
There is no nuclear envelope that encloses the genetic material in prokaryotes.
Are viruses prokaryotes?
No, viruses are not prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that have cells lacking a true nucleus, like bacteria. Viruses are not considered living organisms because they cannot replicate or carry out metabolic functions on their own.
