Description
Bacterial DNA. Illustration of a bacterial chromosome and several small plasmids. Bacteria carry a single large chromosome consisting of a circular molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that floats freely in the cytoplasm. This is often accompanied by small satellite chromosomes called plasmids, which replicate independently and carry a number of genes that benefit the cell. Plasmids can be transferred from cell to cell, a property exploited in genetic engineering.
