Best Answer

Prokaryotes don't have a well defined nucleus like eukaryotes. They keep their circular chromosome in the cytplasm. It's generally anchored to the inner membrane of the cell. The area where the chromosome is in the prokaryotic cell is often referred to as the nucleoid, since it resembles the eukaryotic nucleus in that the DNA is there (but it's not membrane bound like in eukaryotes).

Pretty much in the cytoplasm. ;)

prokaryotes do not have nucleus and their genetic material or DNA are held up as nucleosome in a bacterial cell.

What kinds of cell does not have a nucleus?

There are two main types of cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus, these feature cells such as bacteria,archaea, and protists. To be more specific, prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane around their genetic material.
