Yes, Prokaryotic cells do have DNA. However, it is not enclosed inside of a nucleus (the organelle that makes the Eukaryote distinct) but rather the DNA exists in a region of the cell called the nucleoid and is very dense and compact. The DNA of certain Prokaryotic cells also exist as individually replicating circular segments of DNA called plasmids, which typically only encode for a few genes.

No, plants have linear DNA, like most eukaryotic organisms, contained within the nucleus of their cells. Circular DNA is typically found in prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria.


How is the amount of DNA different between a prokaryote and a eukaryote?

In general, eukaryotes have more DNA than prokaryotes. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus that contains the majority of their DNA, while prokaryotic cells have a smaller amount of DNA that is located in the cytoplasm. This means that eukaryotic organisms typically have more genetic material than prokaryotic organisms.
