Since a zygote is a reproductive mechanism created by the fusion of two gametes it would be non-viable if it had no DNA. No DNA, no genetic template, no zygote by definition.

Yes, a zygote, which is the fertilized egg, contains a DNA molecule. The zygote is formed through the fusion of a sperm and an egg, carrying genetic information from both parents. Consequently, DNA is essential for the development and growth of the zygote into a fully-formed organism.

What does a gamete and zygote have to do with DNA?

A gamete is a reproductive cell; ovum in women and sperm in men. These cell contain a haploid DNA condition, that is half the normal complement of DNA. A zygote is the result of the union of two gametes and this results in a diploid condition in which the zygote contains the full compliment of DNA necessary to construct a living organism.

If a cell only has single large DNA molecule would it be a prokaryote or a eukaryote?

Prokaryote mostly contain a single large DNA molecule (circular chromosome) while eukaryotes contain multiple linear chromosomes. Most prokaryote are haploid that means they contain only one copy of each gene.
