Most bacteria have circular chromosome, as opposed to humans which have linear. Also, bacteria are prokaryotes meaning they lack a true nucleus, so their DNA is not confined to a nucleus like humans are.

Bacteria can also have short circular "extra bits" called plasmids that can use to pass along certain useful bits of DNA like antibiotic resistance.

Hope this helps! For more into just check out Wikipedia :)

Same function as the DNA in your cells. Instructions for making pacterial protein products, generally. Still, bacterial DNA is rather intron free so the transtription process is much easier.

Out of bacterial cells animal cells and plant cells which contain DNA?

Bacterial cells, animal cells, and plant cells all have DNA. DNA contains information for the cell on how to perform tasks. In plant and animal cells, DNA is contained in a nucleus, unlike bacterial cells where DNA is contained in a nucleoid.Hope this helped

What cell structure found in plant and bacterial cells but not animal cells called?

In Bacterial cells (prokaryotes) the genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus, instead, it is a single strain of DNA in a circle with no end. Bacterial cells may also contain a few small strands of DNA, known as plasmids. Bacterial cells have a cell wall as well as a membrane. They also have cytoplasm as all cells do
