Detailed explanation-1: -In prokaryotic cells, the DNA, or genetic material, forms a single large circle that coils up on itself. The DNA is located in the main part of the cell. Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus. Instead, their genetic material is located in the main part of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most prokaryotes carry a small amount of genetic material in the form of a single molecule, or chromosome, of circular DNA. The DNA in prokaryotes is contained in a central area of the cell called the nucleoid, which is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -All prokaryotes have plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, a cell wall, DNA, and lack membrane-bound organelles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells both use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as the basis for their genetic information. This genetic material is needed to regulate and inform cell function through the creation of RNA by transcription, followed by the generation of proteins through translation.

Detailed explanation-5: -A prokaryote is a simple, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
