Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes have relatively small amounts of DNA (millions of basepairs) found in one circular genome, which is located in the cytoplasm in the nucleoid. Eukaryotes have larger amounts of DNA (billions of basepairs) found in several linear chromosomes, which are located inside the nucleus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotes contain a single, double-stranded circular chromosome. Eukaryotes contain double-stranded linear DNA molecules packaged into chromosomes. The DNA helix is wrapped around proteins to form nucleosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotic DNA is linear, compacted into chromosomes by histones, and has telomeres at each end to protect from deterioration. Prokaryotes contain circular DNA in addition to smaller, transferable DNA plasmids. Eukaryotic cells contain mitochondrial DNA in addition to nuclear DNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotes have circular DNA while eukaryotes have linear chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -With concern to the question for is prokaryotic DNA circular or linear, most of the cells of the prokaryotes have chromosome which is singular and is actually circular. Thus, they have circular DNA. The cells of the eukaryotes have the chromosomes which are linear in shape and have terminal ends.
