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.
The kingdom with members that have one circular chromosome is the Monera kingdom, which consists of prokaryotic organisms like bacteria. These organisms typically have a single circular chromosome that contains all their genetic information.
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.
Bacteria typically have a single, circular chromosome that is not contained within a nucleus. This chromosome carries the majority of the bacterium's genetic material and is essential for the organism's survival and reproduction.
No, prokaryotic chromosomes only comprise of one chromosome.
A prokaryote contains a single circular chromosome in its cytoplasm.
A plant cell.
Salmonella typically has one circular chromosome. This single chromosome contains the majority of the bacterium's genetic information, and it is a characteristic feature of many bacteria. In addition to the main chromosome, Salmonella may also contain plasmids, which are smaller, circular DNA molecules that can carry additional genes.

Yes, but Single circular chromosome and lacks histone.
The circular DNA molecule that is not part of the bacterial chromosome is called a plasmid. Plasmids are small, extrachromosomal pieces of DNA that can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often carry genes that provide bacteria with additional functions, such as antibiotic resistance.
The organism is likely a prokaryote, such as bacteria. Prokaryotes typically have a single circular chromosome that contains their genetic material. This is in contrast to eukaryotes, which have multiple linear chromosomes.
One circular main chromosome and, perhaps, a number ( 1 to 3 ) of circular plasmids.
Bacteria typically have a single, circular chromosome that is not contained within a nucleus. This chromosome carries the majority of the bacterium's genetic material and is essential for the organism's survival and reproduction.
Bacteria do not have chromosomes. They have a small circular piece of DNA within the cell. The chromosome of a bacterium is the single molecule of circular DNA. It is also called as nucleoid.
No, prokaryotic chromosomes only comprise of one chromosome.
A prokaryote contains a single circular chromosome in its cytoplasm.
