Who is possessed only by some bacteria not by eukaryotes?
Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that are often found in bacteria but are not typically present in eukaryotes. These extrachromosomal elements can carry genes that provide bacteria with advantageous traits, such as antibiotic resistance. While some eukaryotic cells can harbor similar structures, they do not possess plasmids in the same way that bacteria do. Thus, plasmids are primarily associated with prokaryotic organisms.
Which cell organelle is not present in Eukaryotes?
A Eukaryotic cell does not have a flagellum.
Who discovered plasmodesmata?
Plasmids are found within the nucleus of a cell, it is a small, circular piece of DNA found in bacteria and yeasts, which is able to replicate independently of the chromosomes. They are predominantly found in prokaryotes (in the cytosol of prokaryotes and some eukaryotes.--*Though plasmids are found in eukaryotes such as yeast, they are very rare in eukaryotes in general. Plasmids are much more prevalent in prokaryotes such as bacteria. Bacterial plasmids may be linear or circular and are basically pieces of DNA that carry non-essential genes and replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. Since bacteria don't have nuclei, bacterial plasmids exist freely in the cytosol in a supercoiled manner. Examples of bacterial chromosomes include the F plasmid, which is essential to bacterial conjugation (horizontal gene transfer) and various resistance plasmids that confer resistance to toxins including antibiotics.
Do all microbes have plasmids?
No, not all microbes have plasmids. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that are separate from the microbial genome. While plasmids are common in many bacteria, they are not present in all microbes.
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids
Do eukaryotes possess plasmids in their genetic makeup?
No, eukaryotes typically do not possess plasmids in their genetic makeup. Plasmids are more commonly found in prokaryotic cells.
How do eukaryotes utilize plasmids in their genetic material?
Eukaryotes can use plasmids to introduce new genes into their genetic material through a process called transfection. Plasmids can be engineered to carry specific genes of interest, which can then be inserted into eukaryotic cells to alter their genetic makeup and potentially change their characteristics or functions.

What are the 2 types of DNA plasmids found in microorganisms?
Plasmids are autonomous DNA molecules of varying size which are localized within the cytoplasm of bacteria. There are two kinds:virulence plasmids = determines the virulence factors of the bacteriaresistance plasmids (R-plasmids) = determines the bacteria's resistance to anti-infective agents
Is Conjugation a process carried out by bacteria and eukaryotes or eukaryotes only?
Conjugation is a process carried out by both bacteria and certain eukaryotic organisms, such as fungi and some protists. It involves the transfer of genetic material (such as plasmids or DNA fragments) between two individuals.
Is prokaryote used in plasmids?
No, it's vise versa. Plasmids are used in and by the prokaryotes.
Do all microbes have plasmids?
No, not all microbes have plasmids. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that are separate from the microbial genome. While plasmids are common in many bacteria, they are not present in all microbes.
Do all eukaryotic cells have plasmids?
Most plasmids are found in prokaryotic cells, but a few eukaryotic cells also have plasmids. An example of a eukaryote with plasmids is the unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids
What eats eukaryotes?
Other eukaryotes may eat eukaryotes and some prokaryotes may eat eukaryotes.
Plasmids are unique to?
bacteria
