Yes. It may also be referred to as a "plasmid-loop."

The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more what than do the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells?

The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more DNA than the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes usually only have 1 circular chromosome and no "junk DNA", while eukaryotes are multi-chromosomal.


Prokaryotic cells considered simpler then eukaryotic cells?

Prokaryotic cells are considered to be simpler than Eukaryotic cells because they have only a single, circular molecule of DNA. Prokaryotic cells do not have nuclei, and the DNA molecule is unconfined within the cell membrane.


Do prokaryotic Cells contain Dna?

The Dna in prokaryotic Cells floats in the Cytoplasm as a single circular Chromosome. Yes, all Prokaryotes (bacteria and archea and others) and Eukaryotes (e.g Insect, Animal, and Plant Cells) contain Dna in the Form of Chromosomes; without Dna there will be no reproduction.


Is DNA present in both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?

Eukaryotic DNA is linear, whereas most prokaryotic DNA is circular.


Between which cell types is the difference greater-plant and animal cells or prokaryotic and eukaryote cells?

Although both have their differences, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have the greater difference. The only major differences between plant and animal cells is that plants have a vacuole, chloroplasts, and a cell wall, while animal cells do not. Plant cells produce their own food, while animal cells mist consume food to obtain energy. The difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is much larger. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and all other organelles. They have only one circular chromosome, and a plasmid. Eukaryotic cells are much more complex.

Where is the DNA in the porkaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

In eukaryotic cells, DNA exists within the nucleus. In prokaryotic cells, DNA is located as a circular chromosome just in the cytoplasm. There is however a distinct region though but IT IS NOT A NUCLEUS.

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.


How DNA control cellular functions?

The chromosome(s). In eukaryotic cells there are several linear chromosomes enclosed in an organelle called the nucleus. In prokaryotic cells there is one circular chromosome and several tiny circular plasmids, but no nucleus.

Circular? like prokaryotic


What kind of DNA do Eukaryotic cells have?

I dont know but I think its circular (just like prokaryotic is circular)?


What are the characteristics of prokaryotics cells?
