Where can you find the DNA in a prokaryotic cell?
A
The nucleus
B
The cell envelope
C
The ribosomes
D
The cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, have a free-floating chromosome that is usually circular and is not enclosed in a nuclear membrane . Instead, the DNA simply exists in a region of the cell called the nucleoid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotic DNA is found in the central part of the cell: a darkened region called the nucleoid (Figure 1). Some prokaryotes have flagella, pili, or fimbriae.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotic DNA is contained in the central region of the cell, called the nucleoid, It is not surrounded by a nuclear envelope. Many prokaryotes also have small circular DNA molecules called plasmids. This, unlike chromosomal DNA, can provide genetic benefits in certain environments.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells contain it. Nuclear DNA is the DNA that is found in the nucleus of each eukaryotic organism’s cell. In a prokaryotic cell, the DNA is present in the small region of the cytoplasm known as the nucleoid.
