Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells have genetic material that is not contained in a nucleus. Some also contain internal membranes.

What is 1 way the DNA of prokaryotic cells differs from that of eukaryotic cells?
In Prokaryotes like bacteria DNA is in the form of clusters of chromosomes and in eukaryotes DNA is concentrated in the nucleus as they have it .
What is the main ring of DNA in a prokaryotic cell?
Chromosomes
How does the storage of the DNA of a prokaryotic cell differ from that of a eukaryotic cell?
In a eukaryotic cell DNA is stored in a nucleus as chromatin ( unless the cell is in the process of mitosis in which the DNA would arrange itself as chromosomes) However a prokaryotic cell has no nucleus, the genetic material is stored in the cytoplasm of the cell, prokaryotic cells also have a plasmid which is a ring of DNA which is separate to the main genetic material. This plasmid contains DNA not found in the main genetic material. The plasmid is also in the cytoplasm.
Do prokaryotic Cells contain Dna?
The Dna in prokaryotic Cells floats in the Cytoplasm as a single circular Chromosome. Yes, all Prokaryotes (bacteria and archea and others) and Eukaryotes (e.g Insect, Animal, and Plant Cells) contain Dna in the Form of Chromosomes; without Dna there will be no reproduction.
Where can you find dna in a prokaryote?
A prokaryotic cell has no membrane-bounded organelles. So the DNA in a prokaryote is visible throughout the cell.
Is DNA a prokaryotic?
DNA is not a cell so therefore it cannot be categorized into prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
What is a prokaryotic cell found in?
A prokaryotic cell has DNA, ribosomes, plasma membrane an cytoplasm.
What stores the DNA in the prokaryotic cell?
Think about it this way. In a eukaryotic cell, the DNA is in a neat, clean room (nucleus). In a prokaryotic cell, the DNA is in a messy yard with no room. The DNA just floats in the prokaryote.
What is 1 way the DNA of prokaryotic cells differs from that of eukaryotic cells?
In Prokaryotes like bacteria DNA is in the form of clusters of chromosomes and in eukaryotes DNA is concentrated in the nucleus as they have it .
What is the difference eukaryotic cell and prokaryotic cell?
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA carry genetic information for the development, functioning and reproduction of prokaryotes and eukaryotes respectively. Eukaryotes consist of membranebound nucleus whereas prokaryotes lack a membrane­bound nucleus. Prokaryotic DNA is double­stranded and circular. But, eukaryotic DNA is double­strand and linear. The amount of DNA in prokaryotic cells is much less than the amount of DNA in eukaryotic cells. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA undergo replication by the enzyme DNA polymerase. The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA is that prokaryotic DNA is found in the cytoplasm whereas eukaryotic DNA is packed into the nucleus of the cell.

What is the main ring of DNA in a prokaryotic cell?
Chromosomes
What type of cell contains circular DNA?
prokaryotic
Do protists contain DNA or RNA?
A prokaryotic cell absolutely contains genetic material! This is because all cells that reproduce contain genetic information. A prokayrote's genetic information is stored in it's DNA. The only main difference between the storage of DNA in a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell is that prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus, therefore the DNA simply floats within the cell.
