Bacteria have chromosomes that are not located within a nucleus (they don't have a nucleus). Chromosomes are normally found associated together in an area of the cell. Bacteria also have small circles of DNA called plasmids, these can sometimes be transferred between cells

Unlike in a animal call the genetic material in a bacteria cell is not found in a?
Bacteria belong to a group called prokaryotes which have no membrane bound genetic material (a nucleus).
What is the special molecule that contains genetic material?
The special molecule that contains genetic material is called a chromosome.
A threadlike genetic material called chromatin is located within the?
In the inter-phase nucleus of the cell is located a threadlike genetic material called chromatin.
What is Any permanent change in the genetic material is called a?
it is called a mutations
What are coiled strands genetic material called?
genes or dna
What are thick walled cells in which bacteria store genetic material called?
Bacteria are surrounded by endospheres which contain genetic material and keeps the bacteria safe until conditions are right for it to live again.
Unlike in a animal call the genetic material in a bacteria cell is not found in a?
Bacteria belong to a group called prokaryotes which have no membrane bound genetic material (a nucleus).
What is hereditary material of bacteria?
In a bacterial cell, the genetic material is just floating in the cytoplasm in a region called the necleoid. There are no membranes surrounding it.
What is the bacterium's genetic material called?
the genetic material are called DNA
What is the genetic material in a bacterial cell?
Yes it is located in In a bacterial cell, the genetic material is just floating in the cytoplasm in a region called the necleoid. There are no membranes surrounding it.
What is the nucleolus and genetic material called?
The nucleolus and genetic material form the nucleus.
What is a small single celled organisms that do not contain nuclei?
These are called prokaryotes or bacteria and do not contain a nucleus. The genetic material of bacteria is contained in a single, circular chain of DNA.
What is the pathogen attacks specific cells and injects genetic materials?
Viruses attach specific cells and inject genetic material. There are viruses called bacteriophages that infect bacteria be injecting their genetic material into the bacterial host and invading their protein machinery. With animal viruses that infect animal cells (much larger than bacteria), the virus either injects genetic material OR gets into the cell whole before it begins to unleash its pathogenic effects
What is a virus that stores its genetic material as RNA called?
A virus that stores its genetic material as RNA is called a RETROVIRUS
What is the intentional alteration or transfer of genetic material called?
The transfer of genetic information is called conjugation. It involves transfer of genetic information from one bacterial cell to another, and requires physical contact between the two bacteria involved.
What are two bacteria's that exchange genetic material?
Genetic exchanges among bacteria occur by several mechanisms. In transformation, the recipient bacterium takes up extracellular donor DNA. In transduction, donor DNA packaged in a bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium. In conjugation, the donor bacterium transfers DNA to the recipient by mating.
What is the rearranging of genetic instructions called?
The rearranging of genetic material is called recombination
