Chromosomes are located in the nucleus of a cell in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes (which lack a cell nucleus) chromosomes are circular in shape usually found attached to the plasmid membrane. Smaller circular DNA known as plasmids are also found in the prokaryotic cells and are thought of as smaller versions of chromosomes.

What are Extra-chromosomal DNA particles capable of independent replication are called?

Extra-chromosomal DNA particles capable of independent replication are called plasmids. Plasmids are circular DNA molecules found in bacteria that can replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA. They often carry additional genes that can provide advantages to the bacteria, such as antibiotic resistance.

What process in bacteria always allow both chromosomal and non-chromosomal DNA to be transferred?

Conjugation is a bacterial process that allows both chromosomal and non-chromosomal DNA to be transferred between cells. During conjugation, genetic material is exchanged through direct cell-to-cell contact facilitated by a structure called a pilus. This transfer of DNA can contribute to genetic diversity and adaptation within bacterial populations.


What are plasmid genes?

A plasmid is an extra chromosomal DNA molecule separate from the chromosomal DNA which is capable of replicating independently from the chromosomal DNA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmid I think this is far use.


What enzyme inserts viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA?

The enzyme responsible for inserting viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA is called integrase. Integrase plays a crucial role in the integration of the viral genome into the host cell's DNA, allowing the virus to replicate and persist within the host cell.
