Bacteria primarily have circular, double-stranded DNA that is not enclosed within a nucleus, distinguishing them from eukaryotic organisms. Additionally, many bacteria contain plasmids, which are small, circular DNA molecules that can carry genes for traits such as antibiotic resistance. Unlike eukaryotic cells, bacteria often undergo horizontal gene transfer, allowing them to exchange genetic material with other bacteria, which contributes to genetic diversity and adaptability.
The genetic material of a bacterium is found floating freely in the cytoplasm.
Bacteria belong to a group called prokaryotes which have no membrane bound genetic material (a nucleus).

change in phenotype of bacteria caused by the presece of foreign genetic material
Bacteria exchange genetic material, in the form of plasmids, through conjugation. Conjugation is achieved when a pili from once cell attaches to the cell wall of another cell..
No, bacteria do not have introns in their genetic material.
Yes, bacteria have mRNA in their genetic material.
The genetic material in a bacteria cell is found in the cytoplasm.
Both viruses and bacteria contain genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA. Viruses can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, while bacteria typically have DNA as their genetic material.
yes, it have
Thick-walled cells in which bacteria store genetic material are called endospores. Endospores form when bacteria are under stress and help the bacteria survive harsh conditions by protecting the genetic material inside.

Phages insert their genetic material, which is typically DNA, into bacteria. This genetic material carries the instructions for the phage to replicate itself within the bacterial cell.
The exchange of genetic material from bacteria to bacteria through sexual reproduction.
