DNA is mostly circular, not linear or coiled (it is not like eukaryotic DNA). It is found floating freely anywhere in the cytoplasm but is most commonly found in a special region called nucleoid or false nucleus but is identified by dense region of the cytoplasm. Each piece of circular DNA is called a plasmid.

Extrachromosomal DNA in prokaryotic cells can be found in the form of?

Extrachromosomal DNA in prokaryotic cells can be found in the form of plasmids, which are small circular DNA molecules that replicate independently from the chromosomal DNA. Plasmids can carry genes that provide bacteria with additional functions, such as antibiotic resistance or virulence factors.


Where is DNA in a prokaroytic cell?

In a prokaryotic cell (a prokaryote), the DNA is found floating freely in the cytoplasm. It can be in the form of circular plasmids (circles of DNA) and there are occasionally some darker regions in the cytoplasm of prokayote where most of the DNA can be found. Prokaryotes have no nucleus.
