Prokaryotic cells have cytoplasm, a cell membrane with an outer cell wall, and their genetic material, a single DNA loop and possible plasmids, is not contained within a nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells feature cytoplasm, a cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall, and genetic material that is not enclosed in a nucleus; this genetic material consists of a single DNA loop and potentially additional DNA rings called plasmids.
