It's not circular, the DNA is organized in chromosomes like eukaryotes. So circular is not correct, since that applies to things like bacteria and mitochondria.

Is DNA present in both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic DNA is linear, whereas most prokaryotic DNA is circular.
Do prokaryotic cells have a singular circular chromosome?
yes i believe the DNA of prokaryote is circular while the DNA of eukaryote is linear. :-)
What is the simple rule relating the number of fragments to the number of restriction sites presents on the linear DNA molecule?
Let N = number of fragments: For circular DNA, the number of restriction sites= N For linear DNA, the number of restriction sites= N-1
When circular plasmid DNA is cut open at a single site by a restriction enzyme the resulting piece is?
You should end up with a linear piece of DNA the length of the entire plasmid. I don't know if there is a specific name for it. CALLED A : a linear strand
Do plants have circular DNA?
DO PLANTS HAVE CIRCULAR DNA
DNA in Eukaryote long and linear?
DNA in Eukaryotic cells are linear. DNA in Prokaryotic cells are circular.
How is DNA in a prokaryote different from DNA in a eukaryote?
DNA prokariyotes is circular. Eukariyotes have linear shape.
Is DNA present in both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic DNA is linear, whereas most prokaryotic DNA is circular.
The chromosomes of most prokaryotes consists of proteins and?
according to my calculations, the answer to this question is a single circular DNA molecule... your welcome (:
Why are two confirmations of plasmids seen when run on a gel when naturally its always negatively super-coiled?
During the isolation of plasmid it is possible that the shearing forces may cause the DNA to break opening the DNA molecule into linear DNA rather than circular supercoiled DNA. The linear DNA moves slower than the circular DNA. Thus two bands might be seen.
Why plasmid are circular?
Plasmids are genetic structures in a cell that can replicate independently of the chromosomes. They are circular because linear DNA requires a way to copy its ends.
How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic alike and diffrent?
Prokaryotic cells have no nuclei and eukaryotic cells have a true nuclei. prokaryotic DNA is circular where eukaryotic DNA is linear.
Do prokaryotic cells have a singular circular chromosome?
yes i believe the DNA of prokaryote is circular while the DNA of eukaryote is linear. :-)
If you took a linear piece of DNA and cut it with the restriction enzyme EcoRI and it had three restriction sites for EcoRI, how many fragments would you produce What if you had a circular piece of DNA?
If the plasmid has 3 recognition sequences for a given restriction endonuclease, then 4 linear DNA fragments are obtained because, if the DNA is linear then the number of fragments obtained is (N+1) whereas if the DNA is circular then the number of fragments obtained will be N for N recognition sequences for the given restriction endonuclease in a plasmid.
What is the simple rule relating the number of fragments to the number of restriction sites presents on the linear DNA molecule?
Let N = number of fragments: For circular DNA, the number of restriction sites= N For linear DNA, the number of restriction sites= N-1

How is the DNA in a prokayrote different from the DNA in a eukayrote?
DNA in eukaryotes is linear, whereas prokaryotes have circular DNA (with no ends). DNA in eukaryotic cells is found within the nucleus. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus.
