In a prokaryotic cell, the genome is organized within a single circular chromosome located in the nucleoid region of the cytoplasm. The genome contains all the genetic information necessary for the cell's functions and is not enclosed within a membrane-bound nucleus like in eukaryotic cells. Additionally, prokaryotic cells may also contain plasmids, which are small, circular, extrachromosomal pieces of DNA that may carry accessory genes.

What is a prokaryotype?

A prokaryotype is the complete set of chromosomes and genetic material found in a prokaryotic cell, which includes bacteria and archaea. Prokaryotic genetic material is typically organized in a circular chromosome and may also contain smaller circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. The prokaryotic genome lacks a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
