Re EncycloPetey: "The yellow is the cell wall" - no it's not, the yellow is clearly labeled as the capsule, the cell wall is labeled as the light green layer below the thick yellow capsule layer (this is the second time you've repeated this mistake). So it's not fine; either your claims are wrong or the diagram is mislabeled, and either way ...

English: A diagram of a typical prokaryotic cell. This diagram, made in Adobe Illustrator, is an improved version of a similar diagram, Prokaryote cell diagram.svg, which was also made by LadyofHats. Besides general appearance changes, this version adds plasmids and pili, and notes that DNA is circular.

Gene structure is the organisation of specialised sequence elements within a gene.Genes contain most of the information necessary for living cells to survive and reproduce. [1] [2] In most organisms, genes are made of DNA, where the particular DNA sequence determines the function of the gene.
Since DNA is interpreted in groups of three nucleotides (codons), a DNA strand has three distinct reading frames. [15] The double helix of a DNA molecule has two anti-parallel strands; with the two strands having three reading frames each, there are six possible frame translations. [15] Example of a six-frame translation.
However, branched DNA can occur if a third strand of DNA is introduced and contains adjoining regions able to hybridize with the frayed regions of the pre-existing double-strand. Although the simplest example of branched DNA involves only three strands of DNA, complexes involving additional strands and multiple branches are also possible. [ 69 ]
For most prokaryotic chromosomes, the replicon is the entire chromosome. One notable exception comes from archaea , where two Sulfolobus species have been shown to contain three replicons. Examples of bacterial species that have been found to possess multiple replicons include Rhodobacter sphaeroides (two), Vibrio cholerae , [ 3 ] and ...
