Question

In a bacterial cell does the plasmid or the nucleoid contain the DNA?

Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal{Answer:}$

Bacterial DNA – a circular chromosome plus plasmids

The DNA of most bacteria is contained in a single circular molecule, called the bacterial chromosome. The chromosome, along with several proteins and RNA molecules, forms an irregularly shaped structure called the nucleoid.

Answer 2

Answer:

Bacterial DNA – a circular chromosome plus plasmids

The chromosome, along with several proteins and RNA molecules, forms an irregularly shaped structure called the nucleoid. This sits in the cytoplasm of the bacterial cell. In addition to the chromosome, bacteria often contain plasmids – small circular DNA molecules.
