Detailed explanation-1: -By definition, prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus to hold their chromosomes. Instead, the chromosome of a prokaryote is found in a part of the cytoplasm called a nucleoid. Prokaryotes generally have a single circular chromosome that occupies a region of the cytoplasm called a nucleoid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria do not have a well-defined nucleus. It lacks cell organelles. It has single circular genetic material in which only one chromosome is present. Thus bacterial cell is considered as a prokaryotic cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus. Instead prokaryote DNA can be found, bundled but free-floating, in a central region called the nucleoid. Prokaryote DNA is usually found as a single chromosome of circular DNA. These organisms also lack other membrane-bound structures such as the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-5: -In prokaryotes, the DNA (chromosome) is in contact with the cellular cytoplasm and is not in a housed membrane-bound nucleus. In eukaryotes, however, the DNA takes the form of compact chromosomes separated from the rest of the cell by a nuclear membrane (also called a nuclear envelope).
