Discuss the organization of the genetic material in prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Prokaryotic cells (Figure below) are usually smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells. They do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. In prokaryotic cells, the DNA, or genetic material, forms a single large circle that coils up on itself. The DNA is located in the main part of the cell.

The basic repeating unit of nucleic acids are known as nucleotides. a nucleotide consists of three distinct chemical groups.
