Within prokaryotes, the DNA simply exists as a loop contained only by the cell membrane. Prokaryotes are very simple; they've DNA, ribosomes, all immersed in cytoplasm; a cell membrane and cell wall(s) to keep it in. They don't have the structural complexity of a distinct cell nucleus.

When DNA is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane the cell it is a?

When DNA is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane, the cell is called a prokaryotic cell. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, so the DNA is located in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid. Examples of prokaryotic cells include bacteria and archaea.


Where does transcription start in a prokaryotic promoter?

Transcription in a prokaryotic promoter starts at the DNA sequence called the "promoter region."


Is prokaryotic DNA circular or linear?

Prokaryotic DNA is typically circular.


Is prokaryotic DNA linear or circular?

Prokaryotic DNA is typically circular.


Is DNA in a prokaryotic cell?

Yes, DNA is present in prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells have a single circular chromosome that contains the genetic information of the cell. This DNA is located in the nucleoid region of the cell.


Do prokaryotic cells have circular DNA?

Yes, prokaryotic cells have circular DNA.


Do prokaryotic organisms poses DNA?

Yes, Prokaryotic cells do have DNA. However, it is not enclosed inside of a nucleus (the organelle that makes the Eukaryote distinct) but rather the DNA exists in a region of the cell called the nucleoid and is very dense and compact. The DNA of certain Prokaryotic cells also exist as individually replicating circular segments of DNA called plasmids, which typically only encode for a few genes.


Is DNA a prokaryotic?

DNA is not a cell so therefore it cannot be categorized into prokaryotic or eukaryotic.


Is prokaryotic DNA linear or circular in structure?

Prokaryotic DNA is typically circular in structure.


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.


Do prokaryotic cells have linear DNA in their genetic material?

No, prokaryotic cells do not have linear DNA in their genetic material. They have circular DNA.


Where is DNA located in the prokaryotic cell?

The DNA in the prokaryotic cell is located not in a nucleus, but in a region called nucleoid.
