All protozoans possess at least one nucleus, and many species are multinucleate. The genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is contained within the chromosomes of the nucleus.

Do protozoa contain DNA and RNA?

As in other eukaryotes, protozoa contain repetitive DNA elements within their genomic DNA, whose proportion can vary greatly between different species. Horizontal transfer of genes of bacterial origin has contributed to some of the unique metabolic features observed in protozoan parasites.

What protozoa contains?

Protozoa are eukaryotic unicellular organisms, which together with single-cell algae and slime molds belong to the Protista kingdom. They possess a simpler and more primitive structure than the members of the animal kingdom. The protozoans contain a membrane-surrounded nucleus and cellular organs.
