Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, and therefore do not have a nucleus.
The DNA found within bacteria is located in the cytoplasm - in an area called the nucleoid. It is not surrounded by a membrane like in eukaryotic cells.
Prokaryotes do not have a place to store their DNA. So the DNA is in coils floating freely inside the cytoplasm.
In a long circular piece of DNA and in a region that is diffused throughout the cell and called the nucleoid region.
It's DNA is all over the place in chromatids
Bacteria have their DNA in a space called the nucleoid area. It not found in a cell nucleus like our DNA is found.
In the middle of the cell
Think about it this way. In a eukaryotic cell, the DNA is in a neat, clean room (nucleus). In a prokaryotic cell, the DNA is in a messy yard with no room. The DNA just floats in the prokaryote.
A prokaryotic cell absolutely contains genetic material! This is because all cells that reproduce contain genetic information. A prokayrote's genetic information is stored in it's DNA. The only main difference between the storage of DNA in a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell is that prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus, therefore the DNA simply floats within the cell.
Bacterial DNA are in plasmids.Plasmids are in cytoplasm.
no, there is no nucleus in a prokaryotic cell. instead of the DNA being in the nucleus, it is in the cytoplasm.
DNA
False. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells both contain DNA, but eukaryotic cells store their DNA in a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells have their DNA everywhere throughout the cell.
DNA is not a cell so therefore it cannot be categorized into prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
A prokaryotic cell has DNA, ribosomes, plasma membrane an cytoplasm.

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 .
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA carry genetic information for the development, functioning and reproduction of prokaryotes and eukaryotes respectively. Eukaryotes consist of membranebound nucleus whereas prokaryotes lack a membrane­bound nucleus. Prokaryotic DNA is double­stranded and circular. But, eukaryotic DNA is double­strand and linear. The amount of DNA in prokaryotic cells is much less than the amount of DNA in eukaryotic cells. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA undergo replication by the enzyme DNA polymerase. The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA is that prokaryotic DNA is found in the cytoplasm whereas eukaryotic DNA is packed into the nucleus of the cell.

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.
