In bacteria, which being prokaryotic organisms, the entire hereditary material is packed into a single, irregularly folded compact mass called nucleoid or genophore or bacterial chromosome. It is short and simple consisting of a single DNA molecule. The DNA is in the form of a double helix wh..

The blood is a fluid connective tissue. It is opaque and somewhat sticky. It is more viscous than distilled water with a viscosity of 4.7 and slightly alkaline in nature, Oxygenated blood is bright red while the deoxygenated blood is purple coloured. Blood flows in the blood vessels due to the pump..
