Prokaryotic DNA is found in a region within the cell called
Nucleoid
Most prokaryotes have this

Acts as an extra layer of proteins helps the cell maintain its shape, and prevents dehydration
Cell Wall
Used for locomotion

Pilus
Are used to bacteria to attached to a host cell
Fimbriae

Fimbria
Present only in prokaryotes
(1) Nucleoid, and (2) Circular DNA
Present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
