Q

what is the difference in the DNA of eukaryotes and prokaryotes

A

in eukaryotes the DNA is linear,whereas in prokaryotes its circular
-in eukaryotes the DNA is located within the nucleus,in prokaryotes it is free floating in the cytoplasm
-in eukaryotes DNA associates with histones to make chromatin,in prokaryotes the DNA does not associate with hisytones
