Prokaryotes do have DNA, it just is not contained within a nucleus. It is loosely bound within the prokaryote.

How are functions of prokaryotic cells controlled without a nucleus?

The nucleus's main function is to hold the DNA. Prokaryotic cells do have the DNA but it is not surrounded by a membrane that separates it from the rest of the cell so the DNA just floats around in the region called nucleiod instead of being confined inside a nucleus.


What is the different between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell?

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA carry genetic information for the development, functioning and reproduction of prokaryotes and eukaryotes respectively. Eukaryotes consist of membranebound nucleus whereas prokaryotes lack a membrane­bound nucleus. Prokaryotic DNA is double­stranded and circular. But, eukaryotic DNA is double­strand and linear. The amount of DNA in prokaryotic cells is much less than the amount of DNA in eukaryotic cells. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA undergo replication by the enzyme DNA polymerase. The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA is that prokaryotic DNA is found in the cytoplasm whereas eukaryotic DNA is packed into the nucleus of the cell.
