MCQ s IN MICROBIOLOGY
Name the two prokaryotic domains. Decribe the appearance of the following bacterial types: bacilli, spirilla, and cocci. Bacilli are long and rod-shaped, cocci are spherical, and spirilla are helical or “spiral-shaped.”How would the shape of this bacterium be described? This bacterium is a bacillus, meaning that it is rod-like in shape. What is a plasmid? A plasmid is a small piece of circular DNA present in a prokaryotic cell. Plasmids are extragenomic, meaning that they exist and replicate separately from the main circular chromosome.
