A prokaryote is a bacteria without membrane-bound organelles such as a mitochondria. The genetic material is found in the nucleoid region, as a nucleus is a membrane bound organelle.

Does the prokaryote have a nucleus?

No. It has a nucleoid which is an area where genetic material is found. But it is not membrane bound. The word prokaryote means before (pro) the nut (nucleus).


If a cell contains a nucleus it is a prokaryote?

Actually, if a cell contains a nucleus, it is a eukaryote, not a prokaryote. Eukaryotic cells have a well-defined nucleus that houses the genetic material. Prokaryotic cells, on the other hand, do not contain a nucleus and their genetic material is found in the cytoplasm.


What is prokargote?

Do you mean a prokaryote? A prokaryote is a cell that dos not have a true, membrane bound nucleaus but instead has genetic material and ribosomes floating freely in the cytoplasm. The genetic material (DNA) is organized in a ingle loop. The only type of prokaryote cell is bacteria, which are single-celled. A prokaryote has a cell wall, plasma membrane and usually cilia of flagella.


What does the RNA do in a prokaryote cell?

Acts as the genetic material; it is the prokaryotes' substitute for eukaryotic DNA.


Where is genetic material found in cell?

Genetic material is found in the nucleus.


The genetic material of a prokaryote is called?

DNA , chromatin , central body , nucleoid , bacterial chromosome .


What best exsplains why a bacterial cell is classified as a prokaryote?

A bacterial cell is classified as a prokaryote because it lacks a distinct nucleus to house its genetic material. Instead, the genetic material is found in a region of the cell called the nucleoid. Prokaryotic cells also lack membrane-bound organelles and have a simpler internal structure compared to eukaryotic cells.


What is an organism whose genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus?

I believe it is bacterium. I don't no, it has to be prokaryotic


What is nucleoid?

A Nucleoid is a region within a prokaryote cell that is irregularly shaped which contains most or all of the genetic material.


What are the similarities of eukaryote prokaryote and viruses?

They all contain DNA in there genetic material


Where is genetic information found prokaryotic cells?

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.


What is the genetic material for prokaryote?

The genetic material for prokaryotes is typically a single, circular DNA molecule located in the nucleoid region of the cell. This DNA molecule contains all the genetic information necessary for the prokaryotic cell to function and reproduce.
