How does the storage of the DNA of a prokaryotic cell differ from that of a eukaryotic cell?

∙ 13y ago
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.

Is a toucan a eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
A toucan belongs to the Domain Eukarya and its cells are Eukaryotic. A Eukaryotic cell has a membrane-bound nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. A Eukaryotic cell is also 10x bigger than a prokaryotic cell.
Is the lyosome eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
A Lysosome is not a cell. It is found in the organelle, which is part of the cell. Organelles are found in the eukaryotic cell, not the prokaryotic. So the lyosome is part of the eukaryotic cell.
