Yes and no. Where Eukaryotes (like people, plants, fungi and ect) have multiple linear chromosomes Bacteria have one circular chromosome.
Yes Bacteria have one chromosome
No Bacteria don't have chromosomes
Prokaryotic chromosomes are typically circular in shape, meaning they form a closed loop. This circular chromosome is found free-floating in the cytoplasm of the prokaryotic cell, unlike the linear chromosomes found in eukaryotic cells which are housed within the nucleus.
Prokaryotic organisms such as Bacteria have circular form of chromosomes
Prokaryotic cells have no nuclei and eukaryotic cells have a true nuclei. prokaryotic DNA is circular where eukaryotic DNA is linear.
Simplified version that an intro biology course would look for: Eukaryotes have multiple pairs of linear chromosomes. The gene-coding sequences are interspersed with non-coding regions that may control gene regulation. Within a gene sequence, there are exons (coding regions) and introns (non-coding regions that will be removed from the mRNA). Prokaryotic chromosomes are tightly wrapped around proteins called histones. Eukaryotic chromosomes are contained in a nucleus. Prokaryotes have 1 circular chromosome, and may have smaller extrachromasomal DNA in the form of plasmids. Prokaryotic DNA does not have the non-coding regions or introns. Bacteria do not have histones, but archaea have histone-like structures associated with their chromosomes. Prokaryotic chromosomes exist in the cytoplasm. Reality about Bacterial Chromosomes: Although many have only the 1 circular chromosome, there are many exceptions to this rule Borrelia burgdoferi (corkscrew-shaped bacteria that causes Lyme Disease) has 17 linear chromosomes and many plasmids.
A circular chromosome is, essentially, exactly what it sounds like: a chromosome (strand of DNA that carries the genetic information of an organism) that is circular. Circular chromosomes are found in prokaryotes such as bacteria, as well as in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, typically have chromosomes that are linear, meaning they have two ends that do not connect.
Prokaryotic chromosomes are typically circular in shape, meaning they form a closed loop. This circular chromosome is found free-floating in the cytoplasm of the prokaryotic cell, unlike the linear chromosomes found in eukaryotic cells which are housed within the nucleus.
Prokaryotic DNA is typically circular.
Prokaryotic DNA is typically circular.
Prokaryotic chromosomes are simpler and circular, found in the cytoplasm, while eukaryotic chromosomes are more complex and linear, found in the nucleus. Eukaryotic chromosomes are organized with histone proteins into chromatin, while prokaryotic chromosomes lack histones.
Prokaryotic organisms such as Bacteria have circular form of chromosomes
Prokaryotic DNA is typically circular in structure.
Yes, DNA is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, DNA is found in a circular form in the nucleoid region, while in eukaryotic cells, DNA is located in the nucleus and organized into linear chromosomes.
No, prokaryotic cells do not have linear DNA in their genetic material. They have circular DNA.
The DNA in prokaryotic cells is circular, while the DNA in eukaryotic cells is linear.
because it has its own modification and restriction system which prevents its own DNA from degradation as telomeres are mainly responsible to protect the DNA from exonuclease activity of DNase.
The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more DNA than the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes usually only have 1 circular chromosome and no "junk DNA", while eukaryotes are multi-chromosomal.
Prokaryotes typically have circular chromosomes, not linear ones.
