It is a gel like substance. Contains DNA, ribosomes, and organic compounds required to carry out life processes.
4
Q
Chromosomes?
A
Carries genetic information inherited from past generations.
5
Q
Plasmid?
A
Contains some genes obtained through genetic recombination.
6
Q
Capsule + slime layer?
A
Protect the cell and assist in attatching the cell to other surfaces.
7
Q
Pilus?
A
Assists the cell in attatching to other surgaces, which is important in genetic recombination.
8
