It is the same as human, ie.DNA. In fact, bacteria are the ancestors of all the species,and so they named as prokaryotes. They trascribe RNA and synthesise proteins like us.

What do bacteria have in common with the cells of other living organisms-?

Bacteria multiplies like other living organisms so they can do the jobs they're supposed to.


Which characteristic do viruses share with living thing?

They contain genetic material. Although virus' contain genetic material, they can not reproduce without being inside of a host cell. Many scientists question if they can be considered living or not, as this is the only life function they are capable of performing.


Bacteria are called what because their genetic material is not contained in nuclei?

While it may be true that bacteria do not have nuclei like the other kingdom's of life, they still have genetic material, often as a singular circular strand. In addition, some bacteria contain smaller additional strands of circular DNA called plasmids that allow for additional properties, often impacting its antibiotic resistance and virulence. All the lack of a nucleus means is that the genetic material is not bound to a single area, it is free to roam throughout the cell. If bacteria did not have genetic material they would have no way of reproducing and spreading their traits. Genetic material is essential to the formation of new life forms and the expressions of characteristics. Even viruses which aren't even classified as alive contain genetic information!


What do bacteria have in common with the cells of the other living organisms?

Bacteria, like other living organisms, are made up of cells. Both bacteria cells and cells of other living organisms contain genetic material, have cell membranes, and exhibit functions necessary for survival such as metabolism and reproduction.


Is DNA found in bacteria?

Yes DNA or more specifically genetic material is one of the fundamental requirements for something to be classified as alive, which bacteria are. Bacteria do not conventionally have a nucleus so their genetic material is stored in plasmids, rings of DNA.


Is virus a plant?

No, a virus is not a plant. Viruses are non-living organisms/structures that contain genetic material and that are sub-microscopic in size and cause illness and infections in people, animals, plants and even in bacteria.


What is the genetic material that contains characteristics of living organisms?

The DNA molecule is the genetic material of life.


Do all living organisms have genetic material?

Yes, all living things have genetic material.


Do beans have genetic material?

anything that was once living has genetic material


Eukarotic cells have genetic material?

All living things have of a genetic material.


Do all living things contain cells?

No, not all living things contain cells. Viruses, for example, are considered living but are not made up of cells. They are instead composed of genetic material encased in a protein coat.


Do both cells and viruses have genetic material?

Viruses do not contain DNA or RNA . . . they 'steal' those molecules from their host living cell.
