Genetic information is found in a prokaryote as DNA but not bound by a membrane. That is what the term prokaryote means. The term actually means "before the nut". The nut in this case is the nucleus.

Which organelle of a prokaryotic cell contains genetic information?

The genetic information in a prokaryotic cell is typically found within the nucleoid region, which is a centralized area that contains the cell's DNA. Prokaryotic cells lack a true membrane-bound nucleus, so the nucleoid serves as the main site for genetic material storage and replication.


What is in all cells?

Nucleus. Edit: The nucleus is only found in Eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have one. All cells do have some kind of genetic information but its not always contained in the nucleus.


What genetic material found in the cell?

Deoxyribonucleic acid in eukaryotic cells and in some prokaryotic cells.

Is nuclear membrane found in prokaryotic cells?

No it does not, reason being prokaryotes do not contain a nucleus.


Is pili in prokaryotic cells?

Yes, pili are found in prokaryotic cells. They are hair-like structures that extend from the cell surface and are involved in processes such as adhesion, motility, and genetic exchange.


What is found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis. Additionally, both types of cells have a plasma membrane that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. DNA, the genetic material of the cell, is also found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.


Is the plasmid found in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells?

The plasmid is found in prokaryotic cells.


Where genetic material is found?

Genetic material is primarily found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells (DNA) and in the cytoplasm of cells within organelles called mitochondria (also DNA). In prokaryotic cells, genetic material is found in the nucleoid region, which is not membrane-bound like a nucleus.


What kind DNA to eukaryotic cells have?

Eukaryotic cells have nuclear DNA, which is found in the cell's nucleus and encodes genetic information, as well as mitochondrial DNA, which is found in the cell's mitochondria and is responsible for energy production.
