Where is the DNA dor an organism found?

In eukaryotes, DNA is located on the chromosomes in the cell nucleus. In prokaryotes, DNA is located on a single chromosome in the cell cytoplasm.


Where in a cell is DNA found?

DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotes or in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. The DNA forms complex strands known as chromatin, and when dividing, chromosomes.


Where can DNA be found in prokaryotic cells?

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.


What does nucleoid do to cells?

The nucleoid region of the prokaryotes is the area of the cytoplasm that contains the single bacterial DNA molecule As the prokaryotes are asexual, the single DNA replicates and both copies attach to the cell membrane.


Are organelles only found in eukaryotic cells?

Yes. Prokaryotes are much too small to carry chloroplasts. It is theorized that chloroplasts were once prokaryotes that started a symbiotic relations with early eukaryotic cells, which explains why chloroplasts and mitochondria are found in the eukaryotic cell.


DNA is found only in the what?

nucleus *DNA is located in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes, they have no nucleus. Also it is found in the capsule of certain virus proteins. It's in the sperm cell which has no nucleus as well.


Is DNA contained within a nucleus for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Eukaryotes have a nucleus, prokaryotes do not.


How is the DNA in a prokaryotic cell organised?

DNA, CYTOPLASM, FLAGELLA, CILLIA, MITOCHONDRIA


Does prokaryotes have a same nucleus?

Prokaryotes do not have a membrane bound nucleus. The DNA is dispersed in a prokaryotic cell.


Why are bacteria called prokaryotes?

Bacteria are called prokaryotes because a bacterium cell lacks a nucleus. The DNA is found as loops in discrete sites in the cytoplasm, rather than in a nucleus.


How is the DNA in prokaryote different from the DNA from the eukaryote?

DNA in prokaryotes is circular and in the cell itself, while the DNA of eukaryotes is coiled and in the nucleus (organelle) of the cell.
