OpenStudy (igloo3000):

dna is the genetic material is the cytoplasm

OpenStudy (igloo3000):

that should be between the cell wall or cell membrane sam thing and the nucleus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Prokaryotes don't have a nucleus :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so where is it in the cell? just the cytoplasm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is in an area called the nucleoid.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah since prokaryotes don't have an enclosed nucleus, the genetic material, or DNA, is located in the cytoplasm, which is all the other stuff located in the cell.
