Protists are eukaryotes, so they keep their DNA in a nucleus the same as every other eukaryote.

Is protists DNA linear or circular?

Straight(isn). It's not circular, the DNA is organized in chromosomes like eukaryotes. So circular is not correct, since that applies to things like bacteria and mitochondria.


DNA is contained within a membrane bound nucleus in?

Eukaryotic cells. This includes plants, animals, fungi, and protists. The DNA is organized into chromosomes within the nucleus.


Which of the follwing enclose their DNA in a nucleus?

Eukaryotic cells enclose their DNA in a nucleus. This includes organisms such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not have a nucleus and their DNA is found in the nucleoid region of the cytoplasm.


Differences between bacteria and protists?

Bacteria are prokaryotic while protists are eukaryotic. Bacteria DNA is not contained within a nucleus, and it is circular, whereas in eukaryotes the DNA is found in compact chromosomes. Prokaryotes (like bacteria) also lack organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. Also, prokaryotic cell walls contain peptidoglycan. Protists are divided into three groups: protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime moulds (fungi-like protists). They do not fit into the kingdoms animalia, plantae, or fungi, but they are eukaryotic (like the members of those kingdoms).


Protists are eukaryotic or prokaryotic?

Eukaryotic, they have an enclosed nucleus and membrane bound organelles. They are generally single cellular. However, it is important to know that when they form multicellular colonies the cells do not specialize as in other eukaryotes.

What make protists different from bacteria?

internal membranes which separate different organs, also a different form for DNA, protists are bigger, and several other minor differences


Do protist have plasmids extra round DNA?

I do not think so but some protists have two nuclei.


Do protists contain DNA or RNA?

Oh, dude, protists contain both DNA and RNA. Like, DNA is the genetic material that holds all their instructions for life, and RNA helps carry out those instructions. So, it's like a little genetic tag team going on in those tiny single-celled organisms.

Chromosomes.


Is DNA a microorganism?

No, DNA is not a microorganism. It is a molecule that carries genetic information in all living organisms. Microorganisms are living entities such as bacteria, fungi, archaea, and protists that have cells and can reproduce on their own.
