Answer the following question correctly to receive credit: Part A Organization and Storage of Genetic Information in Bacterial Cells The genetic information of bacterial cells contains all of the genes necessary for the essential functions of that cell. In order for all of this genetic information to fit inside a microscopic bacterial cell, it must be efficiently packaged. Which of the following statements are true regarding the genetic information of a bacterial cell? Select all the correct answers. Genetic information is also found on extra-chromosomal material, called plasmids. DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is translated into functional proteins. O DNA is primarily contained within a membrane-bound nucleus. Genetic information is composed of the nucleotides cytosine, guanine, adenine, and uracil. DNA is supercoiled by the enzyme DNA gyrase. Genetic information is primarily contained within a double-stranded DNA helix. DNA is primarily linear with multiple copies.Explanation / Answer
Plasmid is an extrachromosomal circular DNA. It contains the gentic information needed for the replication. mRNA is messenger RNA that is transcribed from the DNA and it is used for the production of proteins through translation. It is primarily contained within a nucles but not surrounded by the nuclear envelop.
DNA genetic information is composed of nucleotides thymine, cytosine guanine and adenine but not uracil. DNA gyrase is useful for the unwinding of double helical DNA. The DNA may be single or Double stranded but mostly double helical DNA .
Hence the statements 1,2, and 6 are correct.
