The region of the cytoplasm containing the DNA is called the nucleoid. The term "nucleus" is not appropriate, as there is no nuclear membrane.
In bacteria there is a single chromosome, except in the interval between DNA replication and cell division. The chromosome is called circular, meaning that there are no free ends; the DNA molecule is in a loop.
What else can I help you with?
Where is the chromosome's located?
In a human cell the chromosomes are found in the nucleus. In bacteria and other prokaryotic cells the chromosomes are found floating freely in the cytoplasm.
What is the shape of a prokaryotic chromosome?
Prokaryotic chromosomes are typically circular in shape, meaning they form a closed loop. This circular chromosome is found free-floating in the cytoplasm of the prokaryotic cell, unlike the linear chromosomes found in eukaryotic cells which are housed within the nucleus.
What part of the cell is dna found in?
DNA is stored in the chromosomes, which are found in the cell nucleus.
Where the cell are the chromosomes located?
the cytoplasm
What are rod-shaped structures found in nucleus of every cell of an organism?
Chromosomes (however, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus).
Where are chromosomes found in cells?
Chromosomes are found within the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and within the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.

Where are chromosome found in a cell?
Chromosomes are found within the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and within the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.

Does a prokaryotic cell contain chromosomes?
No,they do not have.They have plasmids.Only eukariyotes have chromosomes.
What part of the cell is dna found in?
DNA is stored in the chromosomes, which are found in the cell nucleus.
Where the cell are the chromosomes located?

What are rod-shaped structures found in nucleus of every cell of an organism?
Chromosomes (however, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus).
A type of protein found in eukaryotic chromosomes but not prokaryotic chromosomes is?
Histone
What do the chromosomes of eukaryotic cell have more of than those of a prokaryotic cell?
Genes
What are the key differences between prokaryotic chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes in terms of structure and organization?
Prokaryotic chromosomes are simpler and circular, found in the cytoplasm, while eukaryotic chromosomes are more complex and linear, found in the nucleus. Eukaryotic chromosomes are organized with histone proteins into chromatin, while prokaryotic chromosomes lack histones.
Do chromosomes only contain DNA?
Chromosomes of prokaryotic cell only contain DNA while chromosomes of eukaryotic cell are composed of DNA and protein.
