A circular chromosome is, essentially, exactly what it sounds like: a chromosome (strand of DNA that carries the genetic information of an organism) that is circular. Circular chromosomes are found in prokaryotes such as bacteria, as well as in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, typically have chromosomes that are linear, meaning they have two ends that do not connect.

Circular. All bacterial chromosomes are circilar.
What are the closed loops of DNA?
Closed DNA (circular) is a characteristic of prokaryotes. Circular DNA that is not on the bacterial chromosome are called plasmids.

How many chromosomes found in the cytoplasm of prokaryote cell DNA?
One circular main chromosome and, perhaps, a number ( 1 to 3 ) of circular plasmids.
Circular DNA molecule that is not part of the chromosome in bacterial cells?
Those circular DNA molecules are called Plasmids.widely used in Recombinent DNA Technology
What does a prokaryotes cell contain with a single bit of dna?
A prokaryote contains a single circular chromosome in its cytoplasm.
How many chromosomes does a bacterium have?
Bacteria do not have chromosomes. They have a small circular piece of DNA within the cell. The chromosome of a bacterium is the single molecule of circular DNA. It is also called as nucleoid.
What is the different between prokaryote and eurkaryote DNA?
Prokaryotes have a singluar circular chromosome and eukaryotes have multiple long strands.
