Bacterial Chromosome Outline Structure Function Located Cytoplasm Membrane

The bacterial chromosome is a single, circular piece of DNA found freely in the cytoplasm, acting as the cell's control center.

The bacterial chromosome is a single, circular, naked DNA molecule located in the cytoplasm, controlling the cell's metabolic activity.

Front Outline the structure and function of the bacterial chromosome.

  • Located in the cytoplasm, not in a membrane
  • Acts as the 'control center' of the cell - controls metabolic activity
  • It is a single chromosome which is circular
  • DNA is 'naked' - not wrapped around proteins
