.don’t have a nucleus - have a single DNA loop
.cell wall
.cell membrane
. have cytoplasm
. have plasmids
What is the DNA like a a prokaryote?
. the genetic material in prokaryotic cells isn’t enclosed within a nucleus
. single circular strand/loop of DNA in cytoplasm
What are plasmids and where can they be found
. one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids may be found in the cytoplasm
