∙ 7y agoThe DNA in a prokaryote is found in a (usually single) chromosome and in plasmids within the cytoplasm.
The chromosome is circular, and consists of a circular molecule of DNA associated with proteins. Its length ranges from about 160,000 to 12,000,000 base pairs. Almost all prokaryotes have one or more copies of just one chromosome, but the cholera bacterium, Vibrio cholerae, has two different chromosomes.
Plasmids are small rings of DNA, ranging in size from about 1,000 to 200,000 base pairs. There may be hundreds of identical plasmids in one prokaryotic cell. Both the chromosome and the plasmids have genes along their length.

∙ 13y agoThe DNA is located in cytoplasm of the prokaryotic cell. It flows freely in the cytoplasm.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoChromosomes are either scattered through out the cell or are in some cells, arranged in a ring structure.

∙ 13y agoif im not wrong the prokaryotic cell is the cell with no organelles so the DNA will be floating in the cytoplasm :D

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.
What enzyme Cuts out the RNA primer on the replicated DNA molecule and replaces it with the appropriate DNA nucleotides?
DNA polymerase :)
What is the location of DNA in a prokaryotic cell?
It is located all throughout the cytoplasm. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus so the DNA is located in the cytoplasm. The DNA in prokaryotic cells is also usually found in a circular ring that is coiled up into figure eights called supercoils.
Is it true or false that prokaryotic cells contain more DNA than eukaryotic cells?
False. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells both contain DNA, but eukaryotic cells store their DNA in a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells have their DNA everywhere throughout the cell.
Is DNA present in both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic DNA is linear, whereas most prokaryotic DNA is circular.

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.
When prokaryotic cells copy their DNA replication begins at?
One point on the DNA Molecule Hope This Helps!
What do you call a small circular DNA molecule that is located in some prokaryotic cells like bacteria?
Plasmid (main circular DNA molecule) and transposons (smaller DNA loops).
Does both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain chromosomes?
Yes, although prokaryotic cells have only one DNA molecule, or chromosome. Eukaryotes have more than one.
What enzyme Cuts out the RNA primer on the replicated DNA molecule and replaces it with the appropriate DNA nucleotides?
DNA polymerase :)
What is the one way the DNA of prokaryotic cells differ from that of eukaryotic cells?
prokaryotic DNA is in a ring form

False. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells both contain DNA, but eukaryotic cells store their DNA in a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells have their DNA everywhere throughout the cell.
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.
What feature is common in prokaryotic and eurkaryotic cells?
🎶🎶🎶👎the use of DNA as the information storage molecule
What is one way the of prokaryotic cells differs from that of eukaryotic cells?
prokaryotic DNA is in a ring form
What is the organitation of DNA in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
prokaryotic: circular eukaryotic:linear
