Electron microscopes show us that bacterial cells contain two types of DNA. ( Chromosomal DNA, Plasmid DNA, Antoni DNA ) is a ( giant loop, small loop, Quite long ) of DNA ( containing most, containing some, containing all, containing none ) of the genetic material. It is not neatly packaged like plant or human chromosomes. ( Plasmid DNA, Chromosomal DNA ) comes in small loops and ( carries extra, carries less, carries an equal amount of ) information

One Gene contains the instructions for ( One protein, Two proteins, Three proteins, four proteins ). Often ( several genes work together, two genes work together, single genes work together, eight genes work together ) to produce what is needed for a single feature. For example, your ( eye colour, shoe size, hair colour, height ) is the result of proteins made by several different genes. So is the size and shape of your ( nose, feet, eyes, lips ), and so many other features of your body. Some Genes also carry the instructions for the proteins that control the chemical processes in your body.
