The Nucleoid
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
In prokaryotes, DNA and chromatin are located in the nucleoid region of the cell. The nucleoid is a non-membrane bound area within the cytoplasm where the genetic material is compactly organized. Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes lack a true nucleus, so the DNA and chromatin are not enclosed within a membrane-bound organelle.

How is the DNA in prokaryotes different from from the DNA in a eukaryotes?
dna in eukaryotes is located in the nucleus
What Holds genetic blue prints for cell?
chromosomes or the chromatin located in the nucleus of a cell
How is the DNA prokaryote different from the DNA in a eukaroyte?
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 .
Where is the DNA dor an organism found?
In eukaryotes, DNA is located on the chromosomes in the cell nucleus. In prokaryotes, DNA is located on a single chromosome in the cell cytoplasm.
What deos chromatin consist of?
Chromatin is made up of majorly DNA and a considerable amount of proteins (histones). "Beads on the string" structure (DNA coiled to the histones) condense the amount of DNA to form chromatins.
What does the chromatin do for the cell?
Chromatin is a mass of DNA located in the nucleus.
Chromatin in case of prokaryotes is made up of?
Chromatin is made of histone proteins. It is used for DNA packing. The DNA winds around it like little spools. In eukaryotes, this occurs in the cell nucleus. Prokaryotes do not have a cell nucleus although their DNA does wrap around small structures which only resemble the histone proteins of eukaryotes.
Where is the DNA located in prokaryotes?
cytoplasm
What is another name for the DNA material located within the nucleus of a cell?
chromatin
Where is DNA located in a cell?
In the nucleus and the chromatin in the nuclues.
How is the DNA in prokaryotes different from from the DNA in a eukaryotes?
dna in eukaryotes is located in the nucleus
Where in a cell is DNA found?
DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotes or in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. The DNA forms complex strands known as chromatin, and when dividing, chromosomes.
What is another name for the DNA material located within the nucleus of the?
Chromatin
What is the relation to DNA and chromatin?
DNA makes up a chromatin.
What Holds genetic blue prints for cell?

What consists of DNA and proteins?
Chromatin which condenses to form chromosomes and is located in the Nucleus.
