Eukaryotes have linear DNA and Prokaryotes have circular DNA that are both arranged into a double helix. This double helix is wrapped around histone proteins which forms a structure known as "beads on a string." This is further compacted into a solenoid structure that forms loops that eventually makes a miniband which is compacted into chromosomes.

∙ 12y agoIn prokaryotes, the DNA is naked (not associated with any proteins). It is in the cell as a bacterial chromosome in a nucleoid region.
In eukaryotes, the DNA is associated with a protein- it is within the double-membrane bound structure called the nucleus.
NB> the actual structure of DNA (in terms of 4bases, a double helix and 23 pairs of chromosomes) is NOT different.

How is DNA in prokaryote different from the DNA in eukaryote?
DNA in eukaryotes is located in the nucleus- @p3x
How is the DNA in a prokaryote different from the DNA In the eukaryote?
DNA in prokaryotes is circular and in the cell itself, while the DNA of eukaryotes is coiled and in the nucleus (organelle) of the cell.
What difference between chromosome of prokaryote and eukaryote?
Chromosomes of eukaryotes are composed of DNA and protein. Chromosomes of prokaryotes have DNA only.
What three cell parts do almost all cells have?
~ cell membrane ~ ribosomes ~ cytoplasm ~ DNA Not all cells have a nucleus. prokaryote cells do not have a nucleous. A way to remember this is "Pro-No," "pro" short for prokaryote and no as in "no" nucleus Example: animals and plants eukaryote cells have a nucleus. Example: bacteria bacteria is not a eukaryote cell. and DNA is in all cells
How is DNA in a prokaryote different from the DNA in a eurkaryotes?
In prokaryotes, the DNA is circular and not contained in a membrane. In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is in the form of chromatin and reproduces differently, and it is found inside the nucleus (and mitochondria/chloroplasts).
How is DNA a prokaryote different from the DNA in a eukaryote?
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 .
How is the DNA in a prokaryote different in from DNA in a eukaryote?
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 .

How is DNA in a prokaryote different from DNA in a eukaryote?
DNA prokariyotes is circular. Eukariyotes have linear shape.
Where is the DNA in the prokaryote in the eukaryote?
In a prokaryote cell the DNA is located just within the cell, floating in the cytoplasm, whereas the DNA in eukaryote cells is located inside the nucleus.
What makes a eukaryotes different from a prokaryote?
There are about eleven differences between a prokaryote and eukaryote. The most basic difference is that the eukaryote have "true" nuclei containing their DNA, but genetic areas in a prokaryote isn't membrane-bound. If you need more differences between a prokaryote and eukaryote, ask me on my message-board.

What does a cell of a eukaryote to hold DNA that a cell of a prokaryote does not have?
cell membrane
