during transformation, cells (competent) treated with divalents which creates pores in the cell membrane are required to take up the DNA, DNA is hydrophillic then why it cannot pass through the lipid bilayer of plasma membrane where polar tails are facing outwards.

Which cell stores its DNA in the cytoplasm?

A prokaryote cell stores its DNA in the cytoplasm. The Eukaryote cell has a well defined nucleus separated by nuclear envelope which protects the DNA from the cytoplasm. Mitochondria and chloroplasts also contain their own DNA, are parts of cytoplasm.A prokaryote cell stores its DNA in the cytoplasm.
