One circular main chromosome and, perhaps, a number ( 1 to 3 ) of circular plasmids.
In a eukaryotic cell, the chromosomes are located inside the nucleus. For a prokaryote, the single, circular chromosome is in the cytoplasm.
Chromosomes are found within the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and within the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.
the cytoplasm
DNA is found inside prokaryotic cells freely floating in the cytoplasm. It is in long strands bundled in the cell.
In a human cell the chromosomes are found in the nucleus. In bacteria and other prokaryotic cells the chromosomes are found floating freely in the cytoplasm.
Chromosomes are found within the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and within the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.
In a prokaryotic cell (a prokaryote), the DNA is found floating freely in the cytoplasm. It can be in the form of circular plasmids (circles of DNA) and there are occasionally some darker regions in the cytoplasm of prokayote where most of the DNA can be found. Prokaryotes have no nucleus.
Chromosomes are found within the headquarters or prime component of the cell known as the nucleus. It is surrounded by a viscous (thick like) fluid known as the nucleoplasm. Chromosomes are NOT located within the cells cytoplasm where other cellular organelles normally reside eg. Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria etc. However, in single celled bacteria there is no nucleus, just the genetic material (the chromosomes) suspended in cytoplasm. Genetic material is also found in mitochondria and chloroplasts and both these organelles are present in the cytoplasm.
The cell membrane is found in the cytoplasm of bacterial cells!! yeah...um...that's completely wrong... a cell membrane is found in eukaryotic organisms, not bacteria, and it surrounds the cytoplasm. bacteria have free floating (non-membrane bound) ribosomes, and most have circular chromosomes
Eukariyotes have a nucleus.Prokariyotes do not have a nucleus.
A prokaryote cell stores its DNA in the cytoplasm. The Eukaryote cell has a well defined nucleus separated by nuclear envelope which protects the DNA from the cytoplasm. Mitochondria and chloroplasts also contain their own DNA, are parts of cytoplasm.A prokaryote cell stores its DNA in the cytoplasm.

The cytoplasm comprises the organelles inside the cell. All of the contents of the cells of prokaryote organisms are contained within the cytoplasm.
